Informational Briefing
Update on the Execution of the Governor’s Accelerated Capital Improvement Program Plan:
To receive an update from the State Comptroller and Director on Finance on the status of the execution of the Governor’s plan, that was announced on December 15, 2008, to accelerate public infrastructure construction as part of an effort to stimulate the economy and create jobs. This original plan included approximately 1,500 capital improvement projects totaling $1.8 billion.
This update will include by Department and by Project:
· Project Title;
· Appropriation – initial plan and current;
· Expenditures to Date – initial plan and current;
· Percent for project completed for each phase of the project – initial plan and current; and,
· Estimated completion date for construction – initial plan and current.
As this update is for those projects that were included in the Governor’s original plan no projects that have been subsequently added to the list of projects being tracked by the Governor should be included in this report. Any additional projects that have subsequently been added to the Governor’s plan may be reported in a separate list and will be discussed as time permits.
