Lethbridge unveils $940M ten-year capital plan, seeks public input
The City of Lethbridge is asking residents to help shape a decade of infrastructure spending through its new Capital Improvement Program.
Why it matters
The scale of proposed spending will shape Lethbridge's transportation, utilities and community infrastructure for the next decade, and residents can weigh in before decisions are finalized.
The City of Lethbridge has launched a Capital Improvement Program, or CIP, aimed at gathering community feedback on infrastructure priorities over the next ten years. Chief Financial Officer Darrell Matthews outlined the plan to media on Monday.
Matthews said proposed transportation and community projects total about $240 million between 2027 and 2030, rising to more than $940 million over the full ten-year period. Utility projects add roughly $470 million in the first four years and $860 million over the decade.
To gather public input, city staff will attend community events in the coming weeks, including the Downtown Farmers Market on Wednesday and the Upside Downtown Concert at CASA on Thursday evening.
