FY24-33 Capital Improvement Plan, Tier III
On an annual basis, the Town of Concord prepares a 10-year Capital Improvement Plan. The plan is meant to be inclusive of all anticipated capital projects, vehicles and equipment, divided into the following categories:
• Tier I (Small): expenditures of up to $100,000
• Tier II (Medium): expenditures of more than $100,000 but less than $5,000,000
• Tier III (Large): expenditures of more than $5,000,000, whether proposed as a single or phased project.
Tier I and Tier II capital is funded either through cash outlay or the issuance of debt within the Proposition 2 ½ Levy Limit. Tier III projects are anticipated to be funded through the issuance of debt outside of the Proposition 2 ½ Levy Limit. As such, these projects are subject to a voter-approved debt exclusion (ballot election) which results in an additional tax impact throughout the life of the associated bond issue.
