Town of Trophy Club
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
OVERVIEW

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) serves as a strategic planning and financial
management tool designed to guide the development and maintenance of public

infrastructure within the Town of Trophy Club. This five-year plan outlines the Town’s
priorities for major capital investments and ensures alignment with long-term goals,
community needs, and fiscal responsibility.

Updated annually, the CIP is structured to reflect changing priorities, economic
conditions, and emerging opportunities. It enables the Town to systematically identify,
evaluate, and fund projects that support growth, enhance public services, and maintain
vital infrastructure. The program also considers the operational impacts of proposed
capital investments to support sustainable budgeting.

Typically, CIP projects are substantial, non-recurring expenditures with a useful life
exceeding one year. These include, but are not limited to:
• Construction or acquisition of new public facilities
• Expansion or renovation of existing structures
• Street reconstruction and paving
• Drainage improvements
• Land acquisitions

• Water and wastewater utility upgrades

Planning Process
Each year, the Town reviews and revises its CIP based on input from a wide array of
stakeholders, including residents, Town Boards and Commissions, the school district,
and Homeowner’s Associations. Projects are evaluated using criteria such as
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, alignment with public safety and service
needs, and long-term community benefit. The resulting proposed projects are presented
to the Town Council for consideration and final approval.
