PORTSMOUTH Coming next Monday, Portsmouth City Council will give a first reading to approve a 2021 budget item for varying city departments.
With a vote in favor during the council’s next session, $1.7 million would be set aside for Capital Improvement Budget Funds 301, 606, 622 and 623.
Road work, identified as a pressing need during the city organizational meeting in February, makes up the lion’s share of the CI budget with more than 40% dedicated to its services.
“We really need to be investing because I don’t really need to tell you that our infrastructure is deteriorating,” said City Engineer Nathan Prosch during the Feb. 20 meeting to city officials.
