FAQ
What is the 6-Year Capital Development Facilities Strategic Plan and why is it required?
The 6-Year Plan is a strategic planning tool that helps agencies and universities identify, prioritize, and schedule capital projects over a multi-year horizon. It supports long-term facility planning, aligns investments with agency goals, and strengthens funding requests by demonstrating proactive planning. As required by Section 17-7-202, MCA (as amended by House Bill 5, 2025 Session), all agencies must submit this plan to the A&E Division by April 1 of the year before the legislative session. Notably, capital development projects (excluding major repairs over $2.5 million) cannot be included in the statewide LRBP submission unless they are part of an agency’s 6-Year Plan—unless an exception is granted by the Office of Budget and Program Planning.
