Help Rockville Budget and Build – Mocofeed

Community Input Needed on Budget and Capital Projects

The Rockville community has two opportunities, through Thursday, Oct. 1, to help shape the city’s future: proposing capital projects for their neighborhoods and sharing priorities through the city’s budget survey. 

Each year, the city develops a budget that includes funding for facilities, infrastructure, services and long-term improvements. Large-scale investments in city facilities and infrastructure are known as capital improvement projects and are included in the city’s Capital Improvements Program. 

Community members can submit ideas for capital projects that could be considered as part of the Fiscal Year 2028 budget process.

To be considered, proposed projects should fall into one or more eligible categories: acquisition of property for a public purpose; design and construction of a new city facility or infrastructure; major addition to or extension of an existing facility or infrastructure; significant rehabilitation, repair or improvement of an existing facility or infrastructure; or one-time investments in new or upgraded technology systems. 

Proposals cannot serve a private purpose or be located on private property. They should provide an equal, accessible benefit to community members. Neighborhood groups submitting a proposal are encouraged to discuss and agree on the project before submitting it.

Community members are also invited to complete the budget priorities survey, which helps the city understand residents’ priorities for programs, services and community needs. The survey will be available through Thursday, Oct. 1.
