Public Notice

2023 Call for Project Input

The CTUIR Capital Improvements Committee (CIC) is seeking input on future Capital Improvement Projects

The CTUIR Capital Improvements Committee (CIC) invites CTUIR community members to provide feedback on future capital projects. A list of planned and potential Capital Improvement Projects is displayed using the online webmap.

The webmap is an interactive application that allows you view project information, and provide comments on specific projects. Capital projects are larger development projects that provide services, protect resources, and improve the community. Input is being sought from the community to help the CIC make recommendations to the Board of Trustees for project priorities over the next few years. There are a range of projects such as housing, community services, recreation, natural resources, and economic development.

Capital Improvement Projects Webmap

Some of the projects shown on the webmap are already on the adopted list of projects for the CTUIR to pursue. Other projects (labelled New Proposal) were recently suggested by Departments or Committees/Commissions.

We welcome your input on the listed projects. If you do not have access to the internet, please contact the Tribal Planning Office at 541-276-3099 or TPO@ctuir.org and we will provide paper materials for your review. If there is a project that you feel is important to the community that is not yet on the list, please contact us and consider completing a New Project Application form.

Public input on the Capital Improvement Projects will be gathered throughout the month of May 2022. Thank you for your input!
