Project recordTHE PUBLISHED CAPITAL PROGRAM
What’s allocated for FY2027.
Selected capital costs reported by the City on July 8, 2026. These figures are fiscal-year allocations, rather than lifetime project costs or verified expenditure.
Allocation ≠ expenditure.
An allocation describes planned fiscal-year capital costs. To assess delivery, also look for contracts, amendments, payment records, and accepted work.
The garden’s $7 million in awarded grants is a different measure from its $6.35 million FY2027 capital allocation.
