Lynchburg presents $26–30 CIP priorities, launches interactive dashboard
Summary
City staff reviewed the proposed fiscal 2026–2030 capital improvement plan, highlighting $60 million in school needs, library renovation and Millard Park pool, and unveiled a public interactive CIP dashboard to let residents explore projects and funding sources.
Lynchburg city staff on Feb. 25 presented the proposed capital improvement program (CIP) for fiscal years 2026–2030 and demonstrated a new public dashboard that allows residents and council members to view proposed projects, funding sources and locations.
The CIP presentation, led by Chief Financial Officer Donna Witt, outlined how staff balances pay-as-you-go cash funding, lines of credit and bond financing, and how grant funding is maximized for transportation and other projects. Witt said the first-year appropriation proposed for 2026 is a mix of 67% line-of-credit-funded transportation projects, 12.8% cash and 20% grants; across 2026–2030 the mix is roughly 60% line of credit and 21% pay-as-you-go, subject to annual rebalancing.
The city manager said the work session is meant to brief council ahead of a fuller CIP work session on March 11, and to invite technical questions in advance so staff can return with answers.
