Summit County Executive Russell M. Pry Presents 2009-2014 Capital
Improvement Program To County Council
On Monday, February 9, 2009, Summit County Executive Russell M. Pry
presented the 2009-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to Summit
County Council.
The Summit County Charter requires the County Executive to annually
submit a Capital Improvement Program to County Council. The document
must include a detailed capital improvement plan proposed for the
current fiscal year, along with the estimated cost of each item or
project and the proposed method of financing. Planned capital
improvements for the succeeding five years must also be outlined.
“The program reflects priorities that I believe to be crucial to the
success and well being of the citizens of Summit County, especially in
light of the impact of the current global economic recession,” stated
Summit County Executive Russell M. Pry. “These priorities include an
emphasis on investments in economic development, job creation and the
preservation of good paying jobs.”
Executive Pry’s fifty-page proposal contains detailed plans to fiscally
support the following most noteworthy capital improvement projects:
-
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., World Headquarters, Martha Avenue Corridor
-
Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire Co., Technical Center
-
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 undertakings listed above, upgrades to bridges,
buildings, equipment, roads, technologies and water & sewer lines are
also listed in the document.
“My administration will be closely monitoring local and national
economic conditions to ensure we take advantage of every opportunity to
bring funding dollars to our community,” added Pry. “I am looking
forward to working with County Council, officeholders, local community
leaders and businesses to implement this six-year program for the
betterment of our community.”
