Capital outlay appropriations are made to Aging and Long-Term Services Department (ALTSD) to fund senior center projects, statewide to both local government and tribal governments.  Projects include, new construction and renovations including equipment, and for the purchase of vehicles.

Applications are submitted through the application database. The ALTSD will provide a recommendation of projects for consideration in the upcoming legislative session.

The Capital Project Bureau (CPB) also tracks all capital appropriations and fiscal information, monitors the expiration dates of capital appropriations, and ensures timely reversions of expired appropriation balances.

Staff provides training and technical assistance to local or tribal governments regarding planning, project management and administration of capital project appropriations.
