Edmonton city council will take a look at an information report Tuesday that outlines how private industry could be used to help construct important infrastructure that’s currently unfunded.
The report acknowledged the city doesn’t have the money it needs in the budget to build things like fire halls, libraries, arenas and transit stations.

City staff looked at 10 potential projects that could benefit from a private-public partnership and four were prioritized.
They include a new fire station in Cumberland, a replacement for the Woodcroft library, the Windermere north transit station and, more generally, arenas.
BILD Edmonton is one group having conversations with the city and developers on projects like new temporary fire halls in the developing western neighbourhoods of Wedgewood and Big Lakes.
They say while this idea is still in its infancy, BILD believes developers would be interested in partnering with the city on these types of projects.
