Government wants input on infrastructure planning
The provincial government wants to hear from Albertans on planning and prioritizing capital spending in the short- and long-term.
Until Aug. 10 Albertans can visit alberta.ca to take part in an online survey that will aide the government in developing the Alberta Infrastructure Act. Input from the survey will also be used in the development of a 20-Year Strategic Capital Plan for infrastructure.
In a release, Infrastructure Minister Prasad Panda said infrastructure is a critical part of Alberta’s relaunch plan to protect jobs and get Albertans back to work.
“What we build today will impact the education, health care, and social services we deliver in the future. We are investing in critical projects today, that will help ensure our province remains the best place to live, work and raise a family, while creating jobs when they are needed most,” he said. “We want to hear and learn from industry, tradespeople and everyday Albertans on how we can best address the infrastructure needs of the province.”
