# Wicomico County CIP Meeting for fy 28 32

Wicomico County’s FY 2028–2032 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) public input meeting, held November 12, 2026, outlined the five-year planning and approval process and received comments on proposed capital needs. Officials emphasized that inclusion in the CIP does not authorize spending; projects still require budget approval. The county described funding through fund balance and debt, noting debt levels were below policy limits but that additional borrowing would be repaid from tax revenue. Proposed county projects include upgrading the emergency-services radio system, a second phase of the emergency-services campus, renovations to the Government Office Building, dredging, and airport work.

School capital priorities discussed included plumbing renovations at Wicomico High, design and pre-construction for a new Wicomico Middle School, and roof replacement at Northwestern Elementary. The county expects to forward-fund approximately $12.4 million in FY 2027 to complete Fruitland Primary, scheduled to open in August 2027; school officials requested that project savings support Fruitland Intermediate. They noted state funding is currently directed to Fruitland Primary, limiting state support for other projects. A resident also urged continued planning for Connelly Mill Park. No contract awards or procurement votes were reported; the projects remain proposals for consideration in the CIP and future budgets.
