The Hillsborough County City-County Planning Commission held its regular meeting on August 10, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and approval of the County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Capital Improvement Section (CIS) schedule of projects for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, totaling approximately $5 billion across 325 projects.
