Fulshear city officials are considering spending $35.46 million on projects in fiscal year 2025-26 as part of its capital improvement plan, or CIP.

The overview

At a May 20 meeting, Fulshear staff presented the preliminary draft of its CIP, allowing City Council members to provide direction as the plan progresses. The plan lays out the city’s financing and timing for projects over a five-year period.


A majority of the FY 2025-26 CIP—$13.08 million—is allocated to facilities, parks and technology projects. Additionally, the proposed plan shows FY 2026-27 has the most funding allocated to it over the five-year period, taking up $125.41 million of the total $412.83 million expected cost.

Finance Director Erin Tureau said proposed projects include:
  • Drainage: Eastside Tributary Drainage improvements construction
