Agency Narrative
The Capital Development Board (CDB) is working to improve its capital program and project management efforts by utilizing various project delivery methods to effectively manage project costs and schedules. The CDB has experienced project schedule slippage during fiscal year 2024; this was largely attributed to the lack of skilled workforce to complete the volume of projects available for bid and award. Internally, the CDB has experienced several retirements of experienced staff. To meet the increased demand, CDB continues to hire new qualified/talented staff while promoting continuous improvement and professional development of the workforce. CDB expects improvements for the future and is also incorporating new technology and innovative tools to increase efficiency. CDB also works diligently to promote an internal organizational culture emphasizing diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging for both staff and vendors.
