With the Mayor and Council’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget deliberations set to wrap up in May, Rockville is already seeking input from community members about neighborhood improvement projects to be considered during the next budget season.
The city’s Capital Improvements Program lays out how Rockville plans to invest over a five-year period in projects such as parks, roads, buildings and other infrastructure. As Rockville begins preparations for the budget process for Fiscal Year 2026, which begins July 1, 2025, residents are encouraged to tell the city about the condition of streets and parks and help plan new facilities or infrastructure upgrades to meet community needs.
To tell the city what capital projects are needed in your neighborhood, complete and submit the Propose-a-Project form by Friday, Sept. 13.
Proposals cannot serve a private purpose or be located on private property and should have an equal, accessible benefit to all community members. If submitted on behalf of a neighborhood group, the proposal should be discussed and agreed upon by the neighborhood group before submission.
Neighborhood groups can provide the Mayor and Council with formal input about a project submission at any time during the budget process via a letter, email or online budget survey, or by addressing the Mayor and Council at a budget public hearing.
A summary of all proposals submitted will be provided to the Mayor and Council, the city manager and applicable city department staff, and will be included as part of the public record, beginning with the first budget public hearing in the fall.
