The 2026 - 2031 Draft Capital Plan is now available!
The 5-year plan focuses on taking care of our existing infrastructure, ensuring that the faciilities you're already using remain at their best, and that the County team can continue to provide critical services and resources to our residents.
We invite you to review the Draft Capital Plan and use the Comment on the Capital Plan tool to submit your feedback.
The Draft Capital Plan will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for approval in Spring 2026.
What is Green Infrastructure?
Green infrastructure is designed to work like nature to slow down and clean stormwater. Stormwater is the rain or runoff that flows over streets, roofs, and sidewalks, picking up pollutants like oil, trash, and chemicals before it reaches storm drains, which eventually drain to the ocean.
What may look like ordinary landscaping along roads or in parking lots is actually carefully-engineered green infrastructure built to capture stormwater, filter out the pollutants, and protect local waterways!
Examples of green infrastructure include tree wells that collect street runoff, planted medians and walkways that filter rain through soil and roots, and permeable pavements that let water soak into the ground instead of running off. Learn more about the different types of green infrastructure.
The Green Infrastructure Program implements elements like these to remove pollutants from our storm drain system to keep our local streams, rivers, lakes and coastlines clean!
