Build Infrastructure for the Future
We envision a community where the City , as well as its citizens and businesses , are provided an opportunity to be engaged as well as educated in the latest technology . Our advanced infrastructure would allow the city to be fully connected to a digital society by making our internet a utility , rather than a privilege . This would help in improving the quality of life for our citizens and provide them better personal opportunities , as well as broaden civic engagement and build public trust in government . Implementation of new technology measures in City departments will also improve service outcomes and keep us up-to-date with progressive industry professionals . Additionally , investing in an advanced infrastructure would allow the City to attract new and expanding businesses , who are looking for a location with a technologydriven economy .
