How capital improvement projects get reviewed and prioritized
The budget department must review and rank capital project proposals from state and county agencies to make sure they fit state goals and the governor's priorities. It reports its findings and cost estimates to the governor, who may include them in the budget for the legislature. It also reviews large projects that affect the whole state.
