2019-2022 Budget
The proposed 2019-2022 City of Edmonton Capital and Operating Budgets are now available for public viewing.
Municipal infrastructure is the backbone of our everyday life. It is how we get from home to the workplace, where we go for recreation, how we dispose of waste, how we care for our books and heritage treasures, how we position police and fire rescue around the city to protect us day and night. Public infrastructure is essential to all residents and businesses in the city of Edmonton and critical to the competitiveness of our economy, the quality of life citizens enjoy and the delivery of public services.
Infrastructure is expensive to build or buy, renew or replace; therefore, getting the most value out of every dollar spent on infrastructure is vital. The City invests in new infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing population and economy and repairs existing infrastructure to maintain the high standards Edmontonians expect. The ability to build and maintain infrastructure assets ensures Edmonton can provide services and remain an attractive and cost-effective place to live and do business.
