A group of homeowners just outside of Kensington, P.E.I. are concerned about plans to absorb them in the town's boundaries.

Currently, about 40 properties on the south side of Highway 2 to the east of town are not within the town limits while properties on the north side are.

Mayor Gordon Coffin revealed the plan to extend the town's limits to the Liberal caucus while it was in town this week. Coffin said he wants to complete amalgamation this year, in case the federal government delivers infrastructure funding to the town in 2014.

"If we don't start the plan, we don't start the process, it's not going to happen, so we want to have it if and when an infrastructure program comes down," he said.

"We have cost estimates of providing sewer and water to these areas of approximately $4 million."

The homeowners are concerned Kensington will amalgamate their properties and they'll end up paying property taxes to the town even if water and sewer lines to their neighbourhood are not built.
