2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

The city is responsible for constructing, maintaining and replacing its streets, parks, facilities, infrastructure and equipment. Envision Shakopee presents a set of possible projects that the city and its partners could undertake to improve the livability and vitality of the community. As the community decides to take on any of these improvements, they must be included in, and budgeted for, in a Capital Improvement Program. Capital Improvement Program A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year plan to provide and maintain public facilities for the residents and businesses of Shakopee, balanced against constraints of available resources. Capital improvements are the projects that require the expenditure of public funds for the acquisition, construction or replacement of the infrastructure necessary for communities. Capital planning is critical to the continuation of essential public services, as well as being an important component of a community’s economic development program. The city should update and adopt a new five-year CIP on an annual basis. Upon adoption, the capital improvement planning process would mirror the goals of Envision Shakopee.

The City should prioritize identifying the critical projects needed to catalyze implementation of the Big Ideas and incorporate them into the CIP. Other projects that may be included as priorities in the CIP will be identified as the high priority plan goals are being studied and implemented. Goal statements from the plan that were identified as high priority and also include projects as part of their implementation are marked in the implementation matrix at the end of this section.

Many projects rated as high priority in the community engagement process culminate in the 12 Big Ideas for Shakopee. As the community strives to implement the Big Ideas, several transportation and infrastructure projects will be involved.
