Fiscal Years 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Plan
Ottawa County
Summary
The county has averaged only ~$2.5M a year in capital spending while its buildings age, and staff say $5M a year is the minimum needed. The plan uses excess fund balance to ramp up funding by 2032-33, and a ~$800K facility condition assessment and space utilization master plan will identify true needs.

The county rolled out a new six-year capital plan addressing a backlog of deferred building projects that grew to nearly $13 million.
