Colorado Springs projects · 2026

Projects

Every capital project the City of Colorado Springs publishes for 2026, with its allocation and the funding sources that pay for it, including the share that belongs to another government. Below them are the State of Colorado’s own projects in the city, a third government’s money, kept apart. Each project opens its own page.

Capital projects

FACT

This is the city’s capital program, and more than a third of it is another government’s money. Colorado Springs publishes its Capital Improvement Program project by project, and it publishes each project’s funding sources beside it. $115,796,978 of the $301,757,941 — 38.4% — is the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority’s, flowing through city projects. Every row below says which sources paid for it. Nothing here is added to a figure in any other section of these pages, and the capital section further down is a third government again — the State of Colorado’s.

This is not a “major projects” shortlist. It is every project the city publishes for 2026 — all 99 of them, down to $115 — read from the budget book’s own Capital Improvements Program chapter. Every one of the nine funding columns reconciles to the city’s own printed Total 2026 CIP, and every project’s sources add to its own printed allocation, before a row of it appears here.

Total 2026 capital program FACT

$301.8M

Exactly $301,757,941. The city’s own printed Total 2026 CIP, all funding sources. It is not the city’s own money alone — it is every dollar the city programs through its capital plan, whoever raised it.

PPRTA — another government FACT

$115.8M

Exactly $115,796,978. 38.4% of the program above, raised and controlled by the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority — a separate government with its own board and its own voters. The city’s book scopes it as the Authority’s capital, maintenance and transit operating funds. It is shown because it is in the program, and labeled because it is not the city’s.

Projects published CALC

Rows in the city’s own CIP detail table, counted. No publisher states this number — it is a count of what the table prints.

Spent so far, by project NOT PUBLISHED

—

The city publishes no spending by project. This chapter carries one money column per project, the 2026 allocation: no spend to date, no encumbrance, no prior-year actual against a named project. An allocation is money assigned, not money spent. No estimate is offered, because a plausible one would be indistinguishable from a published figure.

Who pays for it, in the city’s own nine columns

The city prints every project against nine funding sources. This is that table’s bottom row, and the reason the program total above cannot be called the city’s capital budget. No figure on this page subtracts one of these from the total — a “city-only capital budget” is a number no publisher states, and this site does not compose one by taking another government’s money out of a published program.

Every project, and whose money builds it

The table opens in the city’s own order, which is alphabetical rather than by size — the city publishes no ranking, so none is the default. You can sort it any way you like. Where a project draws on more than one source, every source is named with its own share. Each project name opens that row’s own page.

Where these figures come from

2026 Final Budget — Capital Improvements Program (chapter 31-01), published by the City of Colorado Springs and named on the methodology page. The table is read by column position, not by reading order, because this chapter prints project names carrying digits, a page number under every page and footnote markers inside its own column headings — all of which a plainer reading files as money. The reading is proved both ways before it is published: every project’s nine sources add to its own printed allocation, and each of the nine columns adds to the city’s printed total.

State projects in Colorado Springs

FACT

This is the State of Colorado’s money, not the city’s. These are projects the STATE appropriates or is asked to appropriate, at sites inside Colorado Springs. No figure here is part of the city budget above, and none of it is ever added to one. Two governments spend money in the same place; this site keeps them apart on principle.

Project	State department	Where	What happened to the money	Amount
CSDB West Hall renovation and addition ph 1/2	EDU	Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind	Requested, recommended	$13,778,673
Systems Renovation, Brown Hall and Modular Classrooms	Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind	Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind	Appropriated	$4,030,257
Pikes Peak State College Window replacement, Centennial Campus (CR)	IHE	Pikes Peak State College	Requested, not recommended	$6,411,116
Replace and Upgrade Building Automation System, Rampart Campus	Pikes Peak State College	Pikes Peak State College	Appropriated	$2,163,700
UCCS Cybersecurity engineering cleanroom	IHE	UC Colorado Springs	Requested, not recommended	$15,158,000
Critical Classroom and Office Life/Safety Security Upgrade, Multiple Buildings	University of Colorado - Colorado Springs	UC Colorado Springs	Appropriated	$2,334,609

The three quantities on that table, and why they are never added

Quantity	What it is	Total
Appropriated	Money the legislature appropriated for this project in the enacted capital schedule.	$8,528,566
Requested, recommended	A capital request the Capital Development Committee recommended. Nobody has appropriated it.	$13,778,673
Requested, not recommended	A capital request the committee did not recommend. Nobody has appropriated it, and it is shown because what a state declines to fund is as telling as what it builds.	$21,569,116

Neither document says where these projects are, so we do

The enacted capital schedule and the committee’s figure-setting document name an institution or a facility and publish no address, no county and no coordinate. Placing them is our claim, made once and graded: A where the document names the town itself, B where it names a facility whose location is a matter of public record but is not in the document. This section filters on the town, not the county — a county is not a city, and a county-keyed filter would put a neighboring town’s project under this city’s name.

The 3 sites this table draws on, and why each one is placed there

Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind · grade B — Campus at Colorado Springs, El Paso County.
Pikes Peak State College · grade B — Campuses at Colorado Springs, El Paso County.
UC Colorado Springs · grade A — The institution names Colorado Springs, which is in El Paso County.
