Fiscal Highlights - August 2015
2015 Capital Development Tour -
Angela J. Oh ( PDF)The State Building Board serves as a policy board to assess and prioritize the State's capital facility needs; to advocate high quality facilities that are safe and economical; and to oversee the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of the State's capital facilities. Annually, the State Building Board compiles a list of capital development requests from state agencies and higher education institutions, including the Utah System of Higher Education and the Utah College of Applied Technology. Each August, the State Building Board participates in a two-day tour to assess the reasons for the requests and gain knowledge of location and site conditions of those requests. This year, the state Building Board visited sites throughout Central and Northern Utah. During the State Building Board's October meeting, they will allow agencies and institutions to present their request for capital development projects. The State Building Board will then evaluate and rank the projects and compile a priority list to be presented to the Legislature. The Legislature will use this information during the 2016 General Session to begin discussions regarding what capital development projects they will ultimately fund. The following table shows the state-funded capital development requests for FY 2017. A prioritized list will be available in October; the table below is ordered alphabetically.  |
