Region's infrastructure works are an investment 120th Halton Plowing Match Halton Region is a locain Halton, which is being adtion of choice for business investment and a place that residents choose to call home. Our Region has become one of the best communities in Canada. At Halton Region, we are committed to ensuring our quality of life continues. Residents have identified that maintaining current infrastructure and planning for future infrastructure requirements is a top issue of concern. To address this, we have introduced Building a Better Halton, which is our infrastructure construction plan. This plan covers road, water and wastewater projects. This year, Council approved $362 million in infrastructure investments. Upgrading and adding to our infrastructure will help us to reduce commute times, provide a highquality water supply to new communities and complete preventive maintenance on key services such as wastewater mains. These investments will benefit residents across the Region-- from Burlington to Halton Hills to Milton to 9 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday, August 24, 2010 Gary Carr Oakville, as we are upgrading and maintaining current infrastructure, and adding new services to not only meet the needs of residents, but also business owners. Each year our budget focuses on an investment in the services and programs you have told us are important to you, one of which includes infrastructure. Over the last four years, the combined tax increase for Regional programs and services has been less than 0.5 per cent-- one of the lowest among municipalities in Canada. In order to keep Halton's portion of taxes low we need to come up with other sources of revenue. One example is how we are financing infrastructure construction needs dressed through our collection of development charges. This year alone, development charges will cover 82 per cent of the costs for road construction. Development charges are paid by developers on all new development. Using development charges as the primary source of funding to pay for infrastructure construction ensures that the developers pay for these costs, not existing taxpayers. During summer construction, remember we're Building a Better Halton to ensure that Halton remains a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
