The 2017 Capital Improvement Planning cycle was completed with the public hearing held on November 16. The current plan, as submitted to the Select Board and the Budget Committee in October, was reviewed at the lightly-attended hearing.
The Capital Improvement Plan is intended as an advisory document for budgetary planning related to projects or equipment costing at least $10,000 with an expected lifetime of five years. The plan covers the 10-year horizon out to 2026. The state of New Hampshire recommends the plan be revised every one to two years in order to keep the plan relevant to the changing needs of communities.
Items covered in this year’s CIP include:
- Fire Department Vehicle Replacement
- Police Department Vehicle Replacement
- Road Maintenance Expenses
- Grader Replacement
- Town Hall Heating/Ventilating Improvements
- Town Office Computer Server
- Andover Ambulance Replacement
- Andover Elementary/Middle School Facility Upgrade – Bond Analysis
The current Capital Improvement Plan can be viewed on Andover’s Town Web site, or a printed copy can be picked up at the Town Hall.
The committee would like to thank all those who cooperated during the planning cycle by providing the vital information needed to complete the process.
