A 10-year plan for a better Halton Infrastructure planning is a complex process. At Halton, we always start with a strategy and a budget that identifies what we want to achieve, as well as when and how much it will cost. On December 16, 2009, Regional Council adopted Halton's 2010 Budget & Business Plan. This plan outlines the Region's vision for infrastructure construction over the next 10 years. It shows the major road, water and wastewater capital projects that will help us support and manage growth, and contribute towards our goal of creating sustainable communities. In recent polling, residents identified maintaining current and planning for future infrastructure as a top issue of concern. We are making a huge commitment to infrastructure-- $362 million this year alone-- and we believe it's the 9 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday, May 4, 2010 Gary Carr right decision for Halton. To help inform you about our infrastructure program, we've created the Building a Better Halton campaign to highlight our 10-year plan. Look for it on construction signs, mail outs to your home, Halton's website and other communications materials. Building a Better Halton will help you see what we're doing in 2010, and how it fits into our bigger, 10year vision for the region.
