Capital Projects Department

ABOUT US

Wrangell’s Capital Projects Department is responsible for facilitating restoration, improvements, and additions to the Borough’s permanent investments.  This framework of investments serves to support the Wrangell economy and provide community infrastructure while ensuring efficient allocation of public funds and revenues. 

The department manages projects through all phases of design, construction, and inspection.  The department also coordinates the consultant selection, construction contractor procurement, and project delivery for all capital improvement construction projects.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)

The City and Borough of Wrangell maintains a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) from which priority capital projects are identified each year.  The priority projects are subject to change from year to year, based on continual changes within the community.  The CIP includes projects designed to improve, acquire, repair, construct, and maintain major capital facilities, infrastructure, and equipment.  Many projects address infrastructure needs in a specific area while several projects have a regional or borough-wide benefit for all residents.  Portions of the CIP are submitted to the State Legislature and the Governor for funding consideration, as well as to the Congressional Delegation for potential federal funding sources.  The current fiscal year priority capital projects list was approved by the Wrangell Borough Assembly and is attached below.
