*Numbers are Rounded
Various Areas Increased Spending Significantly
Planned spending in Planning, Environmental, and Development will increase to $124.3 million, a nearly 200 time increase from the prior period, due to Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisitions worth $100 million. The project will close gaps between existing observation lands, assist in creating wildlife corridors, and provide water quality benefits. The Utilities category also raises its capital by $70 million because the Water and Water Reclamation area increased its spending on its new and significant projects. Both Convention Center and Fire Rescue Areas also increased spending by $20 million due to the improvement of the Convention Center, fire stations, and training facility.
Four Projects Valued at More than $100 Million
Orange County’s current CIP has four projects valued at more than $100 million and 21 projects valued at more than $25 million. The largest project comes from Public Works, called Rehabilitation of Existing Roadways Countrywide project, worth $155 million.
