The well-being of residents and the economic prosperity of the community are directly affected by the quality of its infrastructure. Good planning is needed to
ensure our roads, sewers, water mains, electrical, gas and broadband networking infrastructure is the best it can be.
The municipality is working on this initiative based on feedback from the community in the following areas:
-
Development and maintenance of an ongoing 10-year Capital Budget Forecast;
-
Demonstrated fiscal responsibility;
-
A focus on water & sewers;
-
Providing all Kingstonians access to broadband telecommunication services;
-
Adoption and use of appropriate environ-mental standards; and
-
Appropriate balance in budgeting between maintenance of existing infrastructure and extension of new infrastructure.
