It includes a specific five-year CIP for Fiscal Years 2027-2031 and will have funding for Fiscal Year 2027 incorporated into the County budget. The document also reports cash proffer information as required by Virginia Code.

The plan extends from a five-year to a ten-year horizon to enhance financial planning for future projects.

Funding for the program will be sourced from the unassigned General Fund balance, the CIP Fund balance, and financing proceeds, following approvals by the Planning Commission and public hearing by the Board of Supervisors.
