The Community Improvement Program (CIP) manages the programming of funds for the City’s capital projects and special programs. Each year the Board of Mayor and Aldermen adopts a CIP that includes both a current year appropriation and a long-range capital planning component. The Plan also looks several years into the future to insure that long term community development needs of the City are met while minimizing tax impacts.

Funding in the CIP includes: grants from various federal, state and private sources; City bond funds; City operating cash funds; and capital funding for the City’s enterprise funds such as the Airport, Environmental Protection Division, the Manchester Water Works and the Recreation Enterprise.


Purpose of the Community Improvement Program:

  • Coordinate Improvement Projects
  • Provide access by the BMA and public to information on all projects and funding
  • Provide streamlined accounting procedures
  • Maximize federal & state dollars for needed projects
  • Minimize tax rate impact of capital projects
  • Provide for long-range planning of capital needs
  • Establishes a means of setting overall community development priorities


The CIP staff of the Planning and Community Development Department are available to assist in answering questions on the CIP or in the process for applying for CIP funds.
