Capital Investment Plan

The City of Charlotte’s Capital Investment Plan is a long-range investment program designed to meet the needs of our growing community. Using creative approaches and community input to develop projects that move Charlotte forward, the Capital Investment Plan focuses on addressing our community’s infrastructure needs.
