Celina to implement $757M five-year CIP, $203M slated for 2025 projects 

CELINA – The city has finalized a five-year capital improvement plan (CIP), totaling a $757.3 million investment in infrastructure by 2029. Approximately $203 million has been blocked off for projects in 2025. 

The city council anticipates dividing the allocated money between general government projects and enterprise utility projects. The CIP lays out $125.8 million for general government initiatives, covering critical infrastructure and public service amenities. The remaining $77.5 million will support essential utilities and operational expenses. 

The largest portion of the funds for general government projects will be devoted to the city’s roadways, totaling $42.9 million for 2025. Projects include road and intersections improvements, resurfacing, street construction and maintenance, conducting impact studies and procuring equipment. 

The city will dedicate the lion’s share of the enterprise utility project funding – $43.2 million – to improving water infrastructure. Some of the projects included in the CIP will improve downtown and citywide water systems, install pump stations, transmission lines and build ground and elevated storage tanks.
