Utility Extensions: Why Municipalities Think Differently Than Developers
Join us on July 10, 2026, from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM (ET) for a Lunch & Learn hosted by Kimley-Horn.
This session, “Utility Extensions: Why Municipalities Think Differently Than Developers,” will feature Tracy Williams, MPA, Vice President at Donohue Associates, and will explore how municipalities evaluate infrastructure extensions for new development.
The discussion will focus on the key questions municipalities consider—capacity, cost responsibility, and alignment with long-term growth plans—and how these differ from a developer’s perspective. Attendees will gain insight into funding expectations, system impacts, and the balance between growth and public responsibility.
Attendees will gain insight into:
• How municipalities evaluate water and sewer extensions
• Capacity considerations and system limitations
• Cost responsibilities for developers, including oversizing and upgrades
• Alignment with long-term municipal growth plans
• Balancing development with public safety, compliance, and ratepayer protection
This session is designed to provide valuable perspective for developers, engineers, and land professionals working with municipal infrastructure and approvals.
Lunch Provided. RSVP Required.
