Los Alamos County is gearing up for significant capital improvements, with a projected budget of $10 million earmarked for upcoming fiscal years. During a recent Health Council meeting, officials discussed the county's capital improvement plan, highlighting a funding allocation of $909,150 for the current year, managed by Miguel and his team under public works.

The plan outlines a budget of $2 million for fiscal year 2027, with additional funds expected in 2028 and beyond. This financial framework allows the county to initiate requests for proposals (RFPs) for architectural studies and other essential projects.

The Integrated Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) indicates that the county has already received $950,000 to date, with another $2 million budgeted for the next fiscal year and an ambitious $8 million planned for the following year. This funding is classified as a third priority, with potential matching funds from the state being a key consideration for future projects.

As the county moves forward, the focus will be on leveraging these funds effectively to enhance community infrastructure and services. The discussions signal a proactive approach to improving the county's facilities, ensuring that residents benefit from well-planned and adequately funded projects in the years to come.
