The CAPS Citizens Advisory Committee held its second meeting Monday evening, continuing discussions on the long-term vision for the County Area Projects Sales Tax (CAPS).

Committee members received an update from Retail Strategies on ongoing retail recruitment efforts and discussed additional economic development opportunities that could enhance quality of life and support future growth throughout Woodward County.

The committee also reviewed the recently adopted Resolution of Intent approved by the Board of County Commissioners, which establishes the funding framework for future CAPS investments:• 50% – Economic Development • 25% – Transportation & Infrastructure • 25% – Public Safety & EMS

This framework provides direction for future planning while allowing the committee to continue evaluating needs, priorities, and potential projects within each funding category.

The meeting concluded with continued discussion focused on responsible planning, transparency, and ensuring CAPS investments create lasting benefits for the residents of Woodward County. Additional committee meetings will be held as the planning process moves forward.

CAPS Citizens Advisory Committee meetings are open to the public and are scheduled for the fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Meeting agendas are posted on the Thursday prior to each meeting.
