Betty Argue, president of the Board of Supervisors of the Indian Trail Improvement District, is looking forward to working with a new management team and continuing to address residents’ needs in a cost-effective way.
“Strategic planning is a necessity,” she said. “Without proper planning, it is difficult to provide consistent direction to staff. As a result, services suffer and important opportunities are missed.”
A few examples of the projects the district intends to focus on in 2018, according to Argue, include “bringing culvert replacement projects in house,” “moss drainage project,” “water storage projects,” “completion of the Corbett berm,” “completion of the Acreage Community Park expansion,” “replenishing dirt roads with road rock,” “traffic calming and addressing impacts of surrounding developments.”
Argue stressed the importance of minimizing the impact of development in surrounding areas.
“We will begin to feel the effects of surrounding development and the pressures on our district roads and infrastructure this year,” she said. “While some of it may be progress with more stores and restaurants potentially, the impact will be a financial burden to the district taxpayers.”
