Recommended Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The Capital Improvements Program/Plan (CIP) serves as a valuable financial planning tool for Harnett County, assisting the Board of Commissioners, department heads, and employees in achieving their program and service goals. By identifying capital needs, also known as projects, and establishing funding schedules, the CIP ensures strategic allocation of resources. In Harnett County, the CIP covers a comprehensive seven-year period, enabling us to proactively address capital requirements well in advance.
A capital project refers to expenditures that result in tangible capital assets, such as equipment purchases or building constructions. It's important to consider all components necessary to complete the project as part of the overall scope. For instance, if constructing a new building, the project should encompass land acquisition, architectural design, and furnishing as integral components.
