Asset Management for Small to Medium Sized Municipalities: The Role of Public Works
Deadlines are looming for Ontario municipalities to develop and implement asset management plans. Each is required to develop a strategic asset management policy by July 1, 2019 and complete asset management plans addressing all of their assets by July 1, 2024. Will you be ready?
Many smaller municipalities may be struggling with limited resources and lack of skilled staff to get started. Others have taken first steps, but aren’t sure what to do next, how to use the data they’ve collected, or how to keep their plans current. If this sounds familiar, join us at one of our upcoming workshops on Asset Management for Small to Medium Sized Municipalities: The Role of Public Works.
