INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING & MAINTENANCE

The Fiscal Year 2026 budget continues to advance the City of Lake Worth’s long-term

strategy to proactively invest in infrastructure that supports both current community
needs and future growth. By prioritizing essential maintenance, targeted upgrades,

and strategic expansion projects, the City remains committed to ensuring the

reliability, safety, and sustainability of its public infrastructure systems.

To maintain this forward momentum, the FY 2026 budget allocates significant

funding for infrastructure improvements, including multiple bond-funded projects
approved by voters in early 2024. These projects reflect the City’s focus on

maintaining aging infrastructure, enhancing capacity, and coordinating with regional
partners to maximize efficiencies.
