About

Fremont's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plans infrastructure and community programs five years ahead. Every two years, we update it by listening to community priorities, estimating project costs, and presenting the plan to City Council for approval.

Our capital projects improve and maintain:

• City buildings, streets, and bridges
• Storm drains and water systems
• Parks and trails
• Our fiber optic network

Current Program & Budget

In June 2025, City Council approved the $236 million Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2025/26 to fiscal year 2029/30, covering transportation, parks and landscaping, and civic facilities.
