Propose a Capital Improvement Project

Every year, the City of Rockville proposes a new budget for the upcoming year that includes new projects and improvements for facilities, infrastructure, and services. These large-scale projects are called capital improvement projects.

As the city began preparing for the FY 2027 budget process, community members were invited to propose capital projects for their neighborhoods by completing the Capital Improvement Project Proposal Form. The deadline to submit a proposal was Friday, Sept. 12, 2025. Community members may submit proposals for the FY 2028 budget process when the form reopens in spring 2026.

We encourage you to share feedback about the condition of our streets, parks, and other public spaces to help us plan new facilities or infrastructure improvements to meet community needs. We are looking for one-time construction projects that will benefit the community for more than 20 years. Examples can be found in the CIP Projects section of current and past budget documents, linked from the Budget page.

A summary of submitted proposals will be provided to the Mayor and Council, the city manager, and applicable city department staff. Submitted proposals will become part of the FY 2027 budget public record, beginning with the first budget public hearing in fall 2025. To follow the FY 2027 budget process, visit the Budget page, which will be updated in fall 2025 with important dates.

Neighborhoods may provide formal input on a submitted project at any time during the budget process by submitting a letter or online budget comment to the Mayor and Council or addressing the Mayor and Council at one of the budget public hearings.

Proposal Requirements

• Proposals cannot serve a private purpose or be located on private property.
• Proposals should provide an equal, accessible benefit to all community members.
• If submitting a proposal on behalf of a neighborhood group, it should be discussed and agreed upon before submission.
