C. Estimates of Proposed Costs
The following estimate of costs refers to public costs associated with many of the recommendations contained in this Plan. The figures represent total project costs in 2001 dollars. Most costs were estimated based on given unit cost assumptions, to a concept level of detail. The costs may vary considerably depending on final design directions and technical issues encountered during design and construction. A detailed cost estimate is in Appendix IV.

The Plan envisions an implementation period of 50 years. However, most of the projects within this plan are scheduled for the first ten years since they are needed to substantially improve the outdated transportation and facilities infrastructure such as intersections and parking as well as improve the image of Hampton Beach with projects such as sidewalk improvements.
