Strategic Planning – OPB
State agencies are required to submit strategic plans to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) that outline capital projects four years out. These plans should align with the Governor’s strategic goals and include all anticipated changes to facilities, including new construction, renovation, consolidation, changes in office space (and size), or land acquisition. Therefore, facility upkeep, major projects, and facility changes (shrink or growth) should be anticipated and tracked years out to inform OPB and submit budget requests adequately.
