Introduction
Section 15.2-2239 of the Code of Virginia assigns the responsibility for capital outlay programs to the
local planning commissions. The Code states that the local commission may, and at the direction of the
governing body shall, prepare and revise annually a capital improvement program based on the
comprehensive plan of the county or municipality for a period not to exceed the ensuing five years.
At their meeting on June 3, 1997, the Warren County Board of Supervisors authorized the Planning
Commission and staff to develop a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal year 1998-99. The CIP is
to be updated on an annual basis with individual projects removed and added from the plan as they are
completed or as priorities change. The plan is intended as a guide to assist the Board of Supervisors in
the development of the County’s budget.
The CIP process began with the submission of capital expenditure requests from County Departments
and associated agencies. These requests were evaluated by the Planning Commission, using a list of
twelve criteria. These criteria are similar to those developed by the Virginia Department of Housing
and Community Development and those used by other jurisdictions for evaluating capital projects. The
use of evaluation criteria provides objectivity to the evaluation process.
The Commission, using the criteria scores, determined a recommended priority for the various requests.
Representatives of departments making expenditure requests were invited to comment on the proposed
plan. The Planning Commission then held a public hearing on the proposed CIP before making a
formal recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
It should be noted that the CIP is strictly advisory. Once the plan is adopted, individual project
priorities may change throughout the course of the year. It is quite possible that a certain project may
not be funded during the year indicated in the CIP. Individual project funding requests must be
submitted annually by the requesting department as part of the County’s budget process.
The Warren County CIP includes major capital projects that are: non-recurring; should have a “useful
life” of five years or more; and the estimated cost of the expenditure must exceed $50,000 for a general
government project and $100,000 for a school project. Expenditures above this amount will be
considered “capital”, and those below it “operating”. Projects included in this document address
facilities development and/or improvement, infrastructure and large equipment needs.
Each project is associated with a specific operating department and will include prior funding,
estimated expenditures over the next five years and the total estimated cost of the project. All figures
used represent estimated expenditures of the County. Also included for each project is a complete
description, justification, possible funding source, impact on departmental operating budget and the
project’s relationship to the County’s Comprehensive Plan.

Implementation of Previous Capital Improvement Plans
This is the fourteenth year of the County Capital Improvement planning process. Since the 1998-1999
Fiscal Year, the County has been able to fund a number of projects with the limited funds available.

DESCRIPTION
The Virginia Department of Transportation has a matching program whereby localities may pay 50% of
the cost of construction of transportation improvements. These funds can be used outside of the
County’s Primary and Secondary road improvement plans to make necessary improvements.
The County is currently funding $250,000 per year for projects on state highways and $100,000 per year
for rural addition projects where subdivision roads are upgraded to state standards.
JUSTIFICATION
The road improvement projects that could be funded under this program have the potential to serve the
entire community.
FUNDING SOURCES
The VDOT Revenue Sharing funds are matched dollar
for dollar by VDOT by up to $10 million. In FY20112012 VDOT provided over $103 million in matching
funds statewide.
OPERATING BUDGET IMPACT
There would be no impact on the County’s operating
budget.
RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan lists as an objective to:
“Maintain and improve existing transportation
facilities to meet increased demand” (7-25).

DESCRIPTION
When the Warren County School Board adopted its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) in 2004, the plan was
to convert the Warren County Junior High School building to a high school, build another 1,200 student
high school expandable to 1,500 students, and convert the former Warren County High School to a middle
school. The Warren County Middle School would then be renovated. During the process it was
determined that there was less than a $1 million difference to construct a new state-of-the-art middle school
on the greenfield site. The County also determined that this would reuse a portion of the 15th Street Middle
School to house the Health Department and Social Services Department in lieu of constructing a new health
and human services building as was outlined in the County’s 20-year facilities plan. The County has
rezoned the former Warren County Middle School property located on 15th Street to Commercial (C) to
allow for adaptive reuse of the facility to include: offices for the Warren County Department of Social
Services, Warren County Health Department, Warren County Parks and Recreation Department,
Diversified Minds Alternative Program, Warren County Public Schools Maintenance Department, and the
Warren County Senior Center.
JUSTIFICATION
The Warren County Health Department and Warren County Department of Social Services have outgrown
their existing office space. The Health Department space on Peyton Street is privately owned, does not have
room for expansion and is inadequate to meet the current needs of the Department. In addition, the current
location does not meet handicap accessibility requirements and continues to have roofing leaks and well as
HVAC and electrical issues.
The Social Services Building, like the Health Department Building, was constructed to a residential grade of
construction, doesn’t meet accessibility requirements of the customers that is serves and is inadequate for
the existing staff.
FUNDING SOURCES
It is anticipated that the County would use funding set aside from the “twice-a-year” billing windfall in
special projects and repay the fund from rent payments from DSS and the Health Department over a 20-30
year period. A portion of the rent for both facilities is currently and will be paid as part of their respective
County appropriations. The County currently has $6.85 million in this account.

The Comprehensive Plan lists as a goal to: “Maintain existing, efficient equipment and facilities for
County Government and residents.”(5-45). This project is specifically listed in the Comprehensive Plan
(5-45).

DESCRIPTION
The current convenience site has become functionally obsolete, does not offer recycling, and is
operationally unsafe for County/contract employees and users. A new double compactor operation
which offers recycling capabilities is needed in the area.
JUSTIFICATION
County solid waste continues to experience an overall growth trend. As the economy continues to
improve, residential and commercial growth will place an added burden on this obsolete facility. The
current Shenandoah Farms site is the only satellite facility in the County without recycling services. A
new site with recycling facilities will remove thousands of pounds of recycled materials from our solid
waste stream annually. Being able to remove these recyclable materials will reduce our overall costs
and help the environment.
FUNDING SOURCES
The County’s general fund and proffers would be the source of funding.
Impacts on the operational budget will be minimal. We will save approximately $8,000 per year in
rental costs when the current site is closed. However, we will have some site remediation costs to close
it down. We will experience some costs savings on solid waste hauling and some revenue on
recyclables, but incur costs on recyclable hauling.
The Comprehensive Plan lists as a goal to: “Provide
waste management services consistent with the
residents’ needs, in a cost-efficient manner, which
would encourage development consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan” (5-40). As an objective, the
plan states to, “Coordinate service expansion with
the County’s Comprehensive Plan so that
development and expansion of services coincide.”

DESCRIPTION
The current Transfer Station was constructed and opened in 1993 with an anticipated life expectancy of
approximately 20 years. To meet the County’s expected growth in solid waste over the next 10 +/years, and to address the basic health and safety needs of our employees at the facility, several projects
are needed.
They are described below in order of priority:
1.
Maintenance shop – upgrade existing facility to allow staff to properly maintain equipment. The
current shop doesn’t even have a concrete floor; requiring staff to lie on a gravel floor to service
equipment. An upgrade would include remodeling of the current facility, concrete floor, new
HVAC system, insulation, secure stock/tool room, and upgrade bathroom facilities. Adequate
equipment such as hand tools, air compressor, welder, etc. would also be included.
2.
Supervisor office/employee locker room – currently employees have no enclosed area, except for an
unheated wooden shed to change and/or clean up in. A new facility would include 1-2 supervisory
offices, bathroom/shower facilities, employee locker room, small kitchen/breakroom and storage.
Approximate size would be 2,000 +/- square feet.
3.
Scale House – current scale house is becoming functionally obsolete and is not large enough to
maintain required records and supplies. A new scale house of approximately 500 +/- square feet in
size would be constructed in the same vicinity as the current one.
JUSTIFICATION
The projects would meet the safety and human health needs of our current 11 employees. The upgrades
would also meet the operational needs of the County for years to come.
FUNDING SOURCES
The County’s general fund.
There will be no impacts to the operating budget.

DESCRIPTION
The current convenience site is the busiest of all the satellite facilities and is becoming functionally
obsolete. Due to its location adjacent to the VDOT park-n-ride and Essroc Quarry, it is operationally
unsafe for County/contract employees and users.
A new double compactor facility which offers expanded recycling capabilities is needed which
separates the site users from the commuter traffic and heavy truck traffic associated with the quarry
operations.
JUSTIFICATION
County solid waste continues to experience an overall growth trend. As the economy continues to
improve, residential and commercial growth will place an added burden on this obsolete facility.
FUNDING SOURCES
The project would be funded from the County’s general fund.
The impacts on the operating budget will be minimal.

DESCRIPTION
Ressie Jeffries Elementary School was built in 1959 with additions in 1967 and 1976. It has 76,950 sq. ft.
and is situated on 20 acres located on East Criser Road.
This project involves upgrading the heating and cooling systems; replacement of windows, exterior
doors, and roof; and reconfiguration of the front entrance and parking area. At present, the school
does not have central air conditioning, but most classrooms, the library, and office spaces have
window air conditioners. With the upgrade to the hearing and cooling systems, the windows and
exterior doors will need to be replaced so the systems can operate economically. All windows are
single pane style and need to be replaced for energy efficiency. All exterior doors are made of wood
and in bad condition and need to be replaced for safety reasons and to conserve energy. The building
is in need of a new roof as the current one has been patched to the point where total replacement is
needed. The reconfiguration of the front entrance will increase the security at the school. Currently,
visitors are required to ring a door bell to be admitted into the school. After a visitor is allowed in the
school, they have multiple areas of access including the cafeteria and gymnasium before they reach
the office. The reconfiguration of the parking area will allow additional parking spaces and change
the flow of car traffic to maximize student safety and traffic flow. This conversion will allow greater
separation between staff parking and the student drop-off area.
JUSTIFICATION
Replacement windows and exterior doors are necessary for energy efficiency and safety. The roof has
experienced some leaking problems over the years and has been patched to the point where total
replacement is necessary. Reconfiguration of the front entrance and the parking area will increase the
safety for the students and staff at Ressie Jeffries Elementary School.
FUNDING SOURCES
The improvements will generate energy cost savings which will pay for a portion of the project cost
over the term of the contract. The estimated savings on energy costs for Ressie Jeffries Elementary
School is $70,000 per year. Additional funds will be needed to supplement the cost for the entirety of
the project.
There will be no impacts to the operating budget.

DESCRIPTION
A.S. Rhodes Elementary School, located at 224 W. Strasburg Road, opened in 1936 with four rooms. It
was enlarged in 1951 and has an optimal education capacity of 240. Physical capacity is 300. In 1983
new windows, dropped ceiling and new lighting were added. A metal building constructed in 1999
serves as a multi-purpose space for physical education, school programs and after school activities. It
has 22,980 square feet and is situated on five acres. This project would consist of replacing the heating
and cooling systems with an updated energy efficient HVAC system, replacement of the membrane
roof, and replacement of the shingled roof.
JUSTIFICATION
The purpose of this project is to provide a centralized HVAC system so that the offices, cafeteria,
library and all classrooms may be air conditioned. At the present time air conditioning is provided
through inefficient window units. Although heat is provided through a furnace, the existing system is
a steam system. Most of the heating pipes date from 1936 to 1951. It was estimated in 2007-2008 that
the steam pipes had a remaining life expectancy of 8 years.
Currently, this facility has a mixture of a flat membrane roof and a sloped asphalt shingle roof.
Portions of this roof are 30+ years old and beyond the expected useful lifespan. The roof has
experienced some leaking problems over the years and has been patched multiple times.
FUNDING SOURCES
Warren County Public Schools are in the process of selecting an energy services company which will
conduct a comprehensive energy audit of our facilities and identify improvements which will save
energy. The energy services company will design and construct a project that meets the needs of
Warren County Public Schools based on the information discovered during the comprehensive energy
audit. The improvements will generate cost savings which will pay for a portion of the project over
the term of the contract. The estimated savings on energy costs for A.S Rhodes Elementary School is
$30,000 per year.
The School System did not indicate any impact on its operating budget. It would be anticipated that a
new HVAC system would provide more efficient heating. Any savings would be offset by the cost of
providing air conditioning.

DESCRIPTION
There are currently three (3) flat roof systems on older County-owned buildings which have been
identified to be near or past their expected life expectancy and in need of replacement. They are
described below in priority:
1. Courthouse - There are six (6) different flat roof sections totaling approximately 12,080 sq. ft. with
a life expectancy between 9-13 years. The manufactures logo on these membranes are dated 1997;
making the membrane 16 years old. We are continually having leaks at this facility and have just
recently completed capital improvement projects to repair/paint the sloped roofs, exterior fascia
replacements, and window sealant to help address leaking issues. However, the roof(s) need to be
replaced to completely stop all water penetration.
2. Youth Center - This 6,344 sq. ft. flat membrane roof is approximately 20+ years old. It is still
functioning, but is showing its age and failing fast.
3. Community Center—This 10,758 sq. ft. flat membrane roof is still in fairly good condition
considering its age of approximately 16+/- years. With some TLC and preventative maintenance,
it should be serviceable for another 4-5 years, but planning for its replacement should begin now.
JUSTIFICATION
The projects would meet the safety and human health needs of County Staff, service vendors, and
citizens using these facilities. The building interiors and contents would be maintained and costly
repairs/replacements could be avoided.
FUNDING SOURCES
The funding source will be the County’s general fund.
There will be no impact to the operating budget.

front of the site will be in need of a new roof most likely during the period of this Capital Improvement
Plan. The current roof which is a combination of shingles and built-up flat roofing is at least 30 years
old. The roof has been patched multiple times.
JUSTIFICATION
The administrative building houses the Director of Transportation’s offices including those of
secretaries as well as meeting rooms. The school division’s vault for storing important historic
documents, including minutes of School Board meetings and older student records, is also located in
this building.
FUNDING SOURCES
At this point in time, the General Fund appears to be the best source of funding.

DESCRIPTION
The project will consist of the construction of an 800 pupil middle school to house students in grades
6-8. By Commonwealth of Virginia standards, the site must be at least 18 acres. To be equal to Warren
County Middle School, the square footage would be 163,000. The Warren County School Board owns
more than enough acreage at the site known as the Environment Study Area to accommodate the
building as well as appropriate athletic facilities. Prior to a final determination on the site, it will be
necessary to do a comprehensive study of the site to determine what constraints exist, if any, such as
zoning regulations, location of rare species, soil conditions, hazardous materials and traffic and access
that might affect the feasibility for use for a middle school.
JUSTIFICATION
The new middle school will be designed to house 800 pupils. The facilities provided will be equal to
those found in the current Warren County Middle School. Once opened the population of Warren
County Middle School will be divided between the two buildings. In addition, the 8 th grade currently
housed at the two high schools will be moved to the middle school level. The will change the school
system’s grade configuration back to the traditional K-5, 6-8, 9-12. The student population of the two
middle schools will be approximately 600 each. This will allow sufficient room for future growth in
accordance with the Warren County School Board’s Twenty-Year Facilities Plan. Moving the 8th grade
from Warren County High School and Skyline High School will reduce the population of both schools
by approximately 200 students each thus permitting future student population growth. Both schools
are nearing or exceeding their optimal educational capacity of 1100 each.
FUNDING SOURCES
Funding would be through the general fund.
There will be significant operational costs for staffing and maintaining a new middle school. The
school board staff estimated costs at $290,000.

additional sections added in 1988 and again in 1993. It is situated on 10 acres in the Town of Front
Royal. The building houses 583 students in grades PreK-5. There are also 75 staff members at LFK.
The project consists of replacing the propane fired steam boiler, propane fired tube boiler, two
reciprocating chillers, and roof. The current heating and cooling system requires the operation of the
entire system to heat or cool a small area of the facility. The current heating and cooling system will be
replaced with an energy efficient HVAC system which will alleviate the humidity issues the school has
experienced. This project also consists of replacing the roof as portions of the roof are 30+ years old and
past the expected useful lifespan. The roof has been repaired multiple times throughout the years.
JUSTIFICATION
The purpose of this project is to provide an energy efficient heating and cooling system which will also
alleviate the humidity issues at Leslie Fox Keyser. At this time, the heating and cooling system requires
the operation of the entire system to heat or cool a small area of the facility.

hook-ups at several locations, and open and wooded space for potential park development.
The Warren County Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan was recommended by the Parks and
Recreation Commission and approved by the Board of Supervisors in November 2006. The plan
recommended developing a Master Plan divided into 4 phases based on proximity of each area and
logical need for access, spreading out funding needs publicly and County identified priorities. Phase 3
plan is intended to be implemented within the next 10 years. County has already demolished the stage
area. They recommend replacing the stage with a new structure.
JUSTIFICATION
The Shenandoah and Happy Creek Districts are underserved with parks and recreation facilities. With
the addition of the Rockland Park property, the County of Warren meets the State of Virginia and the
National Standards for park acreage. The park will serve as a regional community park for these
districts as well as the entire County residents. The County is growing and the demand for an
additional outdoor staging amphitheater area is recommended by the local Front Royal/Warren
County Chamber of Commerce, and Blue Ridge Arts Council.
FUNDING SOURCES
Proposed funding for the installation of a staging amphitheater at Rockland Park will come from
general funds, other funds, or State/Federal grants for Capital Improvements.
There should be minimal impact on operational costs.

limitations will become and issue. By adding two (2) additional regulation fields constructed on the
Western section of the complex, this will extend the usage of the facility and annually vest one (1) field
per season.
The Parks and Recreation Department drafted a list of future plans for the Skyline Soccerplex. The
addition of (2) two new soccer fields would also compliment the existing soccer complex.
1.
In recent years, several private schools, Home School Association, and Christendom College have
requested additional use of the four (4) established fields constructed in 2005-06.
2.
The cost for the Phase I Fields was $722,906.00. The two additional regulation fields are part of the
original site plan developed by Painter & Lewis LLC. The site plan has been revised several times
because of the large number of improvements.
3.
FMC Corporation has already leveled the two pads to subgrade level.
JUSTIFICATION
The Skyline Soccerplex is located in the Fork Magisterial district on Kerfoot Avenue. The park includes
30 acres of land. This facility opened in the Fall 2006 for the Front Royal Soccer Association (youth
league) and includes 4 soccer fields, parking, picnic shelter, and picnic area. Current Addition: concrete
skatepark facilities, concession/restroom facility, paved parking lots, ADA walking trail and
playground equipment. Currently, approximately 600 youth participate in the Front Royal Soccer
Association youth league Fall and Spring Seasons. As previously stated, additional youth and adult
leagues have been regularly scheduled using this facility during the Fall and Spring Season since 2009.
FUNDING SOURCES

property; situated on approximately (6) six acres of land. The center will consist of numerous fire and
rescue training that will add in the delivery of fire and rescue certification training for the volunteer and
career staff.
A live fire gas fired training building approximately (5,000) five thousand square feet in size will be
placed on a concrete pad. This will allow for site development in years to come; creating an area for the
additions of a Fire Behavior Simulator and a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) confidence
simulator. Both of these props are cargo container type props with require a flat, level concrete area.
JUSTIFICATION
The proposed Fire and Rescue Training Center will serve the volunteer and career population of the
County which consists of approximately 150 emergency responders. This faculty will add in training
and retaining volunteer and career personnel by giving us a means to recertify and develop proficiency
based training drills for the system.
The proposed center will also aid surrounding Counties and industries within the area by training their
personnel. Currently there is only one self sufficient training center that has a wide array of training
capabilities. This center is located in Loudoun County; approximately 45 minutes from Warren County
and requiring greater travel for the surrounding Counties. DuPont Coatings has expressed an interest
in training their fire brigade in Warren County.
FUNDING SOURCES
The Virginia Department of Fire Programs, Burn Building Grant Program for permanent burn buildings
is a match/cost sharing program. The total awarded amount is four hundred and thirty thousand
dollars. Four hundred thousand ($400,000) for construction and thirty thousand ($30,000) for
architectural/engineering design.

plan is intended to be implemented within the next 10 years. County has already demolished the stage
area. They recommend replacing the stage with a new structure.
JUSTIFICATION
The Fishnet Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan recommends the addition of a large playground
facility in the Phase II (3-5 year) schedule. The Parks and Recreation Department has had numerous
requests since 2008 by recreation commission youth organizations, private schools, colleges and adult
organizations. The County would like to offer it’s citizen’s additional shelters in rural park settings
similar to Sherando Park.
FUNDING SOURCES
Proposed funding for the two (2) shelters will come from the Front Royal Rotary Club ($25,000) and
from Zachary Construction rental lease funds and funding for Capital Improvements.
This project will have minimal impacts on the operating budget.
The Comprehensive Plan lists as a goal, “Expand recreation activities and sites to all areas of the
County.” (5-17).

DESCRIPTION
The Front Royal and Warren County area are graced by new and established recreation facilities,
including the Bing Crosby Stadium (2006), new lighting at Champs 53 Baseball Complex, and the Adult
Softball Complex (2008-2009). Also, local public and private schools, church organizations, parks and
recreation department adult softball leagues during the spring and fall seasons. Saturday scheduled
tournaments are a regular occurrence during the two (2) seasons, numbers are growing in use of these
facilities. A new concession/restroom has come to light and requested for the replacement restroom
due to the age of this facility. Over the past five (5) years, concession/restroom facilities have been
constructed at Skyline Soccerplex, Chimney Field Park, and Lion’s Park. This facility improvement is
recommended as a short term improvement for the Design Guidelines established in 2007.
JUSTIFICATION
Gertrude Miller Park is located in a sixty (60) acre park at the intersection of East 8th Street and Stadium
Drive. Park amenities include five picnic shelters, sand volleyball, playground, Adult Softball Complex,
and playgrounds. We receive weekly complaints regarding the condition of the facility. Parks staff are
making repairs several times per month.
FUNDING SOURCES
This project will be funded through the County’s general fund.
There will be no impacts on operational budget.

DESCRIPTION
The Front Royal and Warren County area is graced by new recreation facilities including the Skyline
Soccerplex. Also, established youth and adult soccer organizations having been growing in levels of
participation. With the increase of soccer organizations using the Skyline Soccerplex facility, time
limitations will become and issue. By adding sports lighting to the stadium field, this will extend the
usage of the facility.
The lighting improvements for the soccer stadium field are recommended as short term facility
improvements in the adopted 2006 Warren County Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan.
In 2003, the Parks and Recreation Department met with a large number of youth who requested the
County of Warren construct a skatepark. Over the next 6 ½ years local citizens/youth raised the major
funding for the concrete skatepark. The skatepark officially opened in June 2010. Total cost for the
project was $484,205 which included a sidewalk around the perimeter and 2 viewing areas. It has been
labeled as one of the premier skateparks on the east coast.
Lighting for the skatepark was recommended in the Pillar Design Group bid proposal. The contractor
recommended the facility be lighted to extend the hours of this popular facility.
JUSTIFICATION
30 acres of land. This soccer facility opened in the Fall 2006 and includes 4 soccer fields, parking, picnic
shelter, and picnic area. New facility improvement includes: 15,000 square foot concrete skatepark
facilities, concession/restroom facility, ADA trails, playground equipment, lighted shelter and paved
parking. Currently, approximately 1,000 youth participate in the Front Royal Soccer League Spring and
Fall Seasons as well as youth and adult leagues began using this facility in the Fall 2009.
The skatepark draws several hundred youth and adult skaters and bikers weekly. The Warren County
Skatepark committee has scheduled several events since the facility has opened. Parks and Recreation
staff receive calls from the Virginia Commonwealth and the entire County requesting information, then
visit and use the skatepark.

FUNDING SOURCES
Funding for the installation of sports lighting for the stadium soccer field and the skatepark at the
Skyline Soccerplex would come from the annual general fund, Virginia Outdoor Funding and other
State Grants.

DESCRIPTION
Hangar leases and tie down space are the Airport’s primary source of operating revenue. This year the
Airport completed an eight (8) unit T-hangar expansion project. The additional units are currently full.
Inquires are already being received for additional rental space.
In 2007, the Airport completed a site preparation project which will accommodate an additional
approximate 20,000 square feet of hangar space. Additional hangar capacity is key to achieving Board
of Supervisor’s goal of operational self-sufficiency for the Airport. A portion of the new hangars will be
designed specifically to accommodate the rapidly growing light sport and glider aircraft segments of
the recreational aviation industry. Our Airport is ideally situated to attract these recreational users to
the County, thus enhancing the Airport’s level of activity and revenues it can produce.
JUSTIFICATION
Hangars and tie-down space are the basic revenue generating components of the Airport. They are also
one of the chief attractions of the Airport to both permanently based and transient users. Provisions for
adequate hangar and tie-down space is therefore a fundamental requirement of an active, productive,
and revenue generating Airport.
FUNDING SOURCES
Internal County Fund Loan, i.e., Special Projects, etc.
There should be no major impacts to the Airport’s operating budget. Monthly/annual hangar lease
revenues should offset operating loan expenses.
The Comprehensive Plan states that, “As the airport continues to build revenue-generating hangar
facilities, it is aimed toward achieving the Warren County Board of Supervisors’ goal of financial selfsufficiency” (7-27).

DESCRIPTION
The Skyline Soccerplex soccer facilities were established in the Fall of 2006. At that time the Front Royal
Soccer Association began using the facility. Since then other established youth and adult organizations
have been growing in levels of competition with the increase of soccer organizations using the large
stadium field because of the size regulation requirement.
The Parks and Recreation Department drafted a list of future plans for the Skyline Soccerplex. The
addition of a large stadium seating would compliment the stadium field. The Stadium Seating was part
of the original site plan developed by Painter & Lewis, LLC. The plan has been revised several times
because of the large number of improvements.
JUSTIFICATION
30 acres of land. This facility opened in Fall 2006 for the Front Royal Soccer Association (youth league)
and includes 4 soccer fields, parking, picnic shelter, and picnic area. Current Additions: concrete
skatepark facilities, concession/restroom facility, paved parking lots, ADA walking trail and
playground equipment. Currently, approximately 600 youth participate in the Front Royal Soccer
Association youth league Fall and Spring Seasons. As previously stated, additional youth and adult
leagues have been regularly scheduled using this facility during the Fall and Spring Season since 2009.
Large stadium seating would aid spectators especially the elderly and physically challenged to sit and
watch games.
FUNDING SOURCES
This project would be funded by the County’s general fund and through grants.

DESCRIPTION
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is requesting to build an indoor firing range to meet our certification
and training requirements. The location could be the Transfer Station property. The location is ideal with
its rural setting, mostly flat terrain and is County owned. The facility would have to be able to
accommodate a 50 yard range. The project would be a lead free environmentally friendly project and the
objective would be to make sure there was minimal to no noise from inside that rould be audible to the
outside. Other than the dimensions of the building, the only additional acreage needed would be to
accommodate parking.
The size of the building is approximately 10,864 square feet.
JUSTIFICATION
The Sheriff’s officers train and certify approximately 100 law enforcement and corrections officers. If we
were able to build an indoor range it would accommodate training year round. The Sheriff’s Office lost the
use of its previously used range in 2006 and has had to request the use of other jurisdiction ranges to
accommodate annual and special weapons proficiency and certifications causing scheduling issues and
travel to and creating overtime issues. U.S. Customs recently closed down their outdoor range which we
used on several occasions.
FUNDING SOURCES
The Sheriff’s Office would be pursuing any state and federal grant opportunities available.
There would be some additional impact to the operating budget.
