Propose a Capital Improvement Project
About Propose a Capital Improvement Project
Each year, the City of Rockville proposes a new budget for the upcoming year that includes new projects and improvements for facilities and infrastructure. These large-scale projects are called capital improvement projects and are budgeted for in the city’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP). All CIP projects are listed in the city budget. Visit rockvillemd.gov/budget to access the FY 2027 budget and review existing CIP projects for examples.
As the city begins preparing for the FY 2028 budget process, community members are invited to propose capital projects for their neighborhoods by completing the Capital Improvement Project Proposal Form. Proposals are accepted from July 1 – Oct. 1, 2026.
A summary of submissions will be provided to the Mayor and Council, the city manager, and applicable city department staff. Submitted proposals will become part of the FY 2028 budget public record, beginning with the first budget public hearing in fall 2026. To follow the FY 2028 budget process, visit rockvillemd.gov/budget, which will be updated in fall 2026 with important dates.
Eligible Capital Improvement Projects
- The acquisition of property for a public purpose
- The design and construction of a major new city facility or infrastructure
- The design and construction of a major addition or extension of an existing city facility or infrastructure
- The design and major improvement, rehabilitation, or repair of a city facility or infrastructure

If the project involves a road or intersection, make sure the road is maintained by the City of Rockville before submitting a proposal. City-maintained roads are identified by blue street signs. View an example of city street signs.
