Capital Improvements Plan

The preparation and adoption of a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is an important part of Pelham's planning process. A CIP aims to identify and resolve deficiencies in existing public facilities and to anticipate and meet future demand for capital facilities based on current and expected population increases and the citizen's use of public services. A CIP is a multi-year schedule that programs a series of municipal projects and their associated costs. Over the seven year period considered by the CIP, the plan shows how the Town should maintain, expand and renovate facilities and services as needed to meet the growing demands of existing and new residents and businesses.

  • To inform residents, business owners and developers of needed and planned improvements;
  • To provide a necessary legal basis for the development and proper administration of the Town's impact fee system (RSA
