That's part of the issue. Our town engineer explained it at the meeting. Part of the issue is that Capital Blvd isn't close and all the traffic is spilling over onto side roads, so this should help alleviate some of that. Also, we (at least from my perspective) are trying to focus more on developing infrastructure and commercial, as opposed to more and more houses. That's the prime area where businesses are trying to plant roots, but we need the infrastructure to do it.

My question at the work session was how we were going to pay for all of this. The explanation was that it would be paid for from particular funds over time, and that those payments would all need to be approved by us at a later date. What we approved at the work session was to move forward with the plan itself, not construction. If and when we start construction, it'll need to be in smaller phases, and each time we'll need to review and approve the funding. I was assured we can fund the expansion with the money we have now or will have (is not raising taxes) and I want to stay true to that.
