Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Process

Airport sponsors are required to provide the Bureau with a listing of capital project needs and to keep this list as up-to-date as possible.

The Bureau uses these lists to create a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the state airport system after considering needed projects, priorities, costs, and planned funding availability. Because of the variableness of the funding program and needs of the airports, these CIPs are likely to change frequently during the course of a year. The Bureau has developed a summary of the stages of a CIP throughout a 12-month cycle in a reference sheet for use by airport sponsors and their consultants.
