Capital Projects

Capital Projects are Franklin's long-term investments in permanent infrastructure, like bridges, fire stations, and park systems. Unlike routine maintenance such as mowing or minor repairs, these large-scale efforts create assets that serve the community for decades. To manage these projects, the City uses a 10-year Capital Investment Program (CIP). This roadmap coordinates the timing and funding for all major improvements over $500,000, ensuring growth is financially sustainable and our facilities remain resilient for future generations. 

The CIP organizes investment into five key categories:

• Facilities: Public buildings like City Hall and fire stations.
• Parks & Recreation: Community park spaces and "off-road" greenways and trails. 
• Public Utilities: Water Management (potable water, sanitary sewer, and reclaimed water) and  Sanitation & Environmental Services.
• Stormwater: Flood prevention, drainage, and water quality products.
• Transportation: Roadway expansions, traffic signals, and "on-road" sidewalks and trails. 

While these categories often interact and are all part of our long-term planning, the Public Utilities category contains services that operate as "enterprise funds." This means these services are intended to be self-sufficient and funded by specific users service fees rather than general tax revenue. This ensures that water and sanitation infrastructure is maintained through its own dedicated funding stream.
