Suffolk's proposed Capital Improvement Plan, a 10 year, $290 million list of the city's possible capital needs and desires, will go before the public at the City Council's next meeting.
A public hearing to discuss the plan is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday in council chambers.
The plan is not a capital budget but rather a detailed list of projects that the city could desire as it wends its way into the next century. Projects chosen from the plan will be based on the city's needs and the amount of money available.
If approved, the CIP would be one of the first documents detailing possible future projects for the city. It is hoped that the plan will help the council better appropriate city funds while planning for the future needs of the city.
The plan includes tentative plans to spend:
$14.1 million for a new northeast water source and transmission main.
$21.7 million to expand the city's existing water distribution and transmission system.
$1.11 million to renovate city hall on Market Street.
$3.8 million to build a new public safety building for police and fire officials.
$2.1 million to renovate and develop Constant's Wharf. by CNB
