Why This Vote Matters

The city unanimously approved setting aside $3 million over five years to expand Harbour 8 Park. This money will be included in the upcoming budget and capital improvement plan, though certain conditions must be met before it can actually be spent. The funding addresses a shortfall in the park expansion project, which will add new recreational facilities and green space for residents to enjoy. All seven council members voted in favor of the allocation.
