NSSRA 10 Year Capital Plan Estimate
As a cooperative agency, NSSRA operates all of its programs in partner agency facilities. As a result, NSSRA
only has three areas of capital expenses including vehicles, technology and facility. Northern Suburban Special
Recreation Association Foundation (NSSRA Foundation) has committed to funding the purchase of NSSRA’s
program vehicles from 2013 - 2023 at an estimated cost of over $553,00. A smaller portion of the capital
expenses are NSSRA’s technology costs that total $139,000 over 10 years and the current facility costs which
include improvements to the existing building and are estimated at $11,000. On page 14 is a summary table of
the total estimated NSSRA capital costs from 2014 - 2024. NSSRA’s Capital Plan will be reviewed and approved
by NSSRA’s Board on an annual basis.
