2026 Executive Capital Budget & Capital Improvement Plan
The City of Madison’s 2026 Capital Budget and five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) detail how we meet the basic needs of our residents and prepare for the future. They represent a comprehensive plan for investing in the physical infrastructure that underpins the success of our local economy, keeps Madison moving safely, and increases housing options for all of our residents. Guided by thorough study and innovative thinking from City policymakers. Mayor: I’m confident my 2026 Executive Capital Budget upholds our community’s values and builds upon the progress we’ve made in recent years.

The 2026 Executive Operating Budget, which focuses on services, staffing and programs, will be introduced in October. Both of these budgets will be considered first by the City Finance Committee and then by the Madison Common Council. In addition to the five budget engagement sessions held earlier this year to solicit feedback, there will be multiple opportunities for public input on the budget before final adoption in November.
