Arlington presents $253 million FY26 capital program; funding largely restricted
Summary
County staff told the Arlington County Board at a work session that the FY26 capital program totals more than $253 million and is funded mainly by legally restricted sources, including transportation revenues, state and federal grants, and bond proceeds; PAYGO and short‑term financing fill gaps for shorter‑life assets.
Arlington County staff presented an overview of the proposed fiscal year 2026 capital program at a board work session, telling members the portfolio totals “over $253,000,000” and spans roads, parks, technology and government facilities.
The county said nearly 90% of FY26 capital funding is legally restricted, coming from sources such as state and federal grants, transportation revenues, the Crystal City tax increment financing (TIF) district, and bond proceeds. Karen Talley, the county’s capital budget coordinator, told the board the Crystal City TIF, the Transportation Capital Fund and state and federal grants together represent about 32% of the capital portfolio.
