Goals - or not.
It is time to take a
year-end look a progress of some
of the possible goals that I
discussed at length 11 years
ago.

that point)
- On
Judgment day.

New Providence

lateral road net-work

traffic Cameras available thru
the internet.
There is
still hope but it may be On
Judgment day.

transportation system
(including rail and light weight
hybrid and Electric buses) Some
progress.
All residences in the city
on public sewer, and the
sewer system expanded into the
outer reaches of the county.

Judgment day.

renewal.
On
Judgment day.

and County and City and
state and Federal Governments)
Clearly defined fully funding
and accountability system of the
School System.

Executive Services system for
County/City employees.

Progress - system going in
