Summit County Executive Russell M. Pry's Capital Improvement Program Approved by County Council

On Monday, March 3, 2008, Summit County Executive Russell M. Pry’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was approved by the members of Summit County Council.

The Summit County Charter requires the County Executive to submit a CIP to County Council on an annual basis. The document includes a detailed capital improvement plan proposed for the current fiscal year, 2008, and program of projects for the period of 2009 through 2013.

The approved CIP contains detailed plans to fiscally support the following capital improvement projects:

• Construction of a new Veterans Service Commission Building
• Construction of a new Summit County Animal Control Facility
• Construction of a new Summit County Sheriff’s Administration Building and renovations to the Summit County Jail
• Renovations to the Summit County Courthouse to provide space for two new judgeships
• Expansion of the Summit County sewer system in southern Summit County
  A Canal Corridor and Greenway Grant to the Ohio & Erie Canal Coalition

In addition to the proposed construction projects, land purchases and renovations, the document also details the financial role the County of Summit will play in financing the public

improvements needed to keep the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s World and North American Headquarters in Summit County.

“I appreciate Summit County Council’s support of this plan,” said Summit County Executive Russell M. Pry. “I am looking forward to implementing this program.”
