City staff presented a draft Capital Improvements Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission describing a 10-year outlook, scoring methodology and a ranked list of projects including wastewater treatment expansion, Crystal Falls Parkway extension and facility upgrades; commissioners requested more time to review and will return with comments.
The City of Leander’s capital improvements program (CIP) team presented a draft 10-year Capital Improvements Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission during a workshop session, explaining project-eligibility criteria, the scoring methodology and a prioritized project list staff expects to advance for funding and implementation.
