Summary

The BOE approved the FY26–31 Capital Improvement Plan May 7; the BOE recommended FY26 capital budget is $931.99 million after moving an $85 million federal grant for West Baltimore United from FY26 to FY27 and adding $2.9 million in Pimlico local impact projects.

The Board of Estimates approved the city’s fiscal 2026 through 2031 capital improvement program on May 7. Deputy Planning Director Sarah Parnell explained the BOE-recommended capital budget totals $931,987,286 for FY26 and is $76.9 million lower than the preliminary plan primarily because $85 million in anticipated federal funds for the West Baltimore United project was moved from FY26 to FY27.

Parnell told the board the planning commission approved the draft six-year program in March and that subsequent changes reflected updated federal and state grant schedules and a finalized spending plan for Pimlico Local Impact Aid that added 12 projects totaling $2.9 million to FY26.

The BOE vote approved the planning commission’s recommendations as revised in the BOE packet and transmitted the capital plan into the next phase of the approval process.
