Vernon residents can get an up-close look at some of the major projects slated this year.
The city will host an open house on the 2024 capital infrastructure projects Thursday, Feb. 29, from 5-7 p.m. at the Vernon Rec Centre auditorium.
“Residents and business owners are encouraged to attend the open house to learn about several community improvements at one time, and speak with project teams to review designs and ask questions,” said the city in a release on Monday, Feb. 5.
There are 23 capital projects planned in 2024, totalling $29 million, for which $7.2 million will come from taxes. The 2024 capital program projects are consistent with the Rolling Five Year Infrastructure Plan.
Some of the larger projects are:
• Pleasant Valley Road and 39th Avenue roundabout;
• 32nd Avenue reconstruction – 18th to 20th streets;
