Results from the CIP Listening Sessions

The City of Kearney recently completed forty-two (42) listening sessions requesting citizen input to identify future capital improvements. With 880 citizens participating in this process, numerous capital projects were identified. These projects were presented to the Kearney City Council on March 22. The majority of suggestions represented Park and Recreation facilities at an estimated cost of $13.4 million. The list is available for review on the City of Kearney’s web site at www.cityofkearney.org. Click on Departments, Finance, Special Sales Tax CIP, and Park & Recreation CIP Suggestions.

The Kearney City Council will continue to evaluate these projects with input from staff and advisory boards to prioritize projects. Good government happens with citizen input – thank you to the citizens of Kearney for their continued support and involvement in making Kearney a better community.
