Strategic Priority: Reliable Infrastructure
Goal: Optimize existing assets and develop new assets to support the current and future needs of the community.
Municipal assets and infrastructure form the backbone of our society and their condition and performance has far reaching consequences. The “infrastructure deficit” facing Ontario municipalities is well-known and has been compellingly outlined by municipal organizations including the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. The municipal sector in Ontario has been compelled through evolving legislation to embrace a vigourous asset management approach that will help the public ensure that these assets are being appropriately managed. Given the vast scale and extent of the County’s infrastructure, a range of studies, plans, and processes must be undertaken to meet the County’s strategic priority of having “Reliable Infrastructure”.
