November 2023
This month's key highlights:
-
Public Works Maintenance Zones: Focused efforts to maintain and beautify specific areas, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for everyone. Public Works will focus on ensuring that we touch every asset the City owns within this zone over the year. In 2024 the City will focus on Zone 4 of the Map. We are working on getting a dashboard so that progress can be tracked and shown.
The Zone Map and Dashboard are located here (External Link)
The Water and Wastewater crews will stay in the Amity Village area a little longer (which is zone 3). This is because of the age of the infrastructure in this area.
-
Community Meetings: Within the current Public Works Maintenance Zone the city will reach out to each subdivision to discuss concerns or issues that affect that subdivision. This provides you with a platform to voice your concerns and ideas, strengthening the bond within our community. Here are the Neighborhoods that we will be reaching out to in 2024.
Kensington
Northwood
Bluffs
Lake Sharon
Meadowview Areas
Street Maintenance 10-Year Program: A long-term commitment to improving our roads, enhancing accessibility, and ensuring smooth travel for all residents. The 2024 Street Maintenance list is located HERE(External link)
-
Park Improvements: Revitalizing our green spaces, making them more enjoyable and conducive for family activities and relaxation. We have completed the Meadowview and Fairview upgrades with new play structures, cleaned up trails, added sidewalks, added pickleball courts, and, resurfaced basketball courts. in 2024 we will turn our focus to Windsor Ridge Park.
Windsor Ridge Park design was approved by the board in late October.
-
Sport Complex Improvements: The goal is to have a top-notch venue, that attracts tournaments, but more importantly keeps Corinth Athletes here in Corinth. We have expanded the Soccer game area, improved baseball and softball field conditions, and improved overall drainage in the park. In 2024 we will improve the baseball practice area and focus on turf conditioning of the game fields.
This month the crews are focusing on maintaining the fields and preparing for the off seasons to start some of the construction.
Water and Wastewater System: After 2 years of waiting on Emergency Generator Supplies the City will be installing all units in December. The past two years the City rented generators for any possible winter emergencies, this year we will have permanent generators installed.
Broadband: Currently the provider is working on their internal systems to allow pre-sales sign-ups starting December 1st with the expectation of being able to start doing installations on January 2, 2024. The expectation is to have 100% of the City (minus new developments) up and running by March 1st at the latest.
-

Lighting on Lake Sharon is getting close to being completed. The contractor is planning on completing the light installation next week depending on the weather.
