Capital Facilities Plan
A Capital Facilities Needs Assessment is a planning tool that helps fire districts evaluate the facilities, equipment, apparatus, and resources needed to provide effective emergency services based on future growth within the community it serves.
The assessment compares our current resources with projected population and service demand. By identifying gaps, it helps ensure we can continue to meet emergency response standards, protect lives and property, and adapt to future growth.
Our Capital Facilities Plan builds on the needs assessment and outlines how the district will maintain, replace, and expand critical fire and emergency service infrastructure over time.
This plan is closely aligned with our 10-Year Comprehensive Plan, ensuring that community growth, land use, and emergency service needs are planned together. As our area grows, so does the demand for timely and reliable emergency response.
The Capital Facilities Plan also support the development of Impact Fees, which are used to help fund the cost of growth-related infrastructure.
As new homes and businesses are built, they increase demand for emergency services. Using data from our needs assessment and capital plan, we are able to determine the cost of additional stations, apparatus, and equipment needed to serve new development so that growth pays its fair share and the financial burden on existing residents is reduced.
By aligning our needs assessment with our Capital Facilities Plan and 10-Year Comprehensive Plan, we are taking a responsible, forward-looking approach to growth. This ensures that our responders have the resources they need and that our community continues to receive the same level of service it depends on.
