Capital Budgeting and Finance: A Guide for Local Governments

This publication is a comprehensive how-to manual for planning and financing capital projects. It clearly explains capital budgeting approaches and methods, especially for local jurisdictions under 200,000 in population, and it is a valuable resource for city and county managers, finance and budget officials, planning directors, public works administrators, and other officials involved in decisions to meet public infrastructure and facility needs. The 2009 federal stimulus package directed additional resources to local governments' infrastructure improvement, so local officials increasingly feel pressured to be ready for new projects. The capital planning process prepares for just that.
