2027-2031 Capital Projects Plan
$165 million plan focuses on major county projects
Waukesha County’s 2027–2031 Capital Projects Plan focuses on major county projects while maintaining flat borrowing and using diverse funding sources
The roughly $165 million Plan provides a five-year roadmap for major infrastructure and equipment needs. It also helps the County prepare for large-scale investments while maintaining responsible borrowing, maximizing available funding sources, and requiring a 20% down payment on projects to reduce long-term debt.
“This plan reflects Waukesha County’s continued focus on maintaining essential infrastructure, investing in public safety, and protecting taxpayer dollars,” Interim County Executive Tom Farley said. “By planning ahead and using available funding sources, we can continue delivering high-quality services while managing costs responsibly.”
Highlights of the plan include:
- Highway safety and infrastructure: Continued planning for major roadway improvements, including the next segment of Moorland Road from CTH D to STH 59 in New Berlin, future work on CTH K in Lisbon, and the final Moorland Road segment from CTH HH to Grange Avenue.
- County facility improvements: Six new facilities projects, including HVAC upgrades at Health & Human Services and the Administration Center; plumbing upgrades at the Jail and Law Enforcement Center; and roof and window replacements. The plan also supports improvements at County golf courses and technology and security upgrades at the Expo Center.
- Public safety technology: Upgrades to the County’s Emergency Preparedness Computer-Aided Dispatch system, as well as phone and radio improvements that support emergency response operations.
- Election and core operations: Continued planning for election-related needs and studies of future County phone and tax system options.
