Asset Management

Posted In: Councillor Blog | Posted On: August 14, 2011 | Posted By: GFWebmaster

Valley Heights

Our infrastructure is aging and starting to fail. Infrastructure ages from the day we acquire it, and we need to keep it in a reliable state of repair. Infrastructure is important to the health of our community, as healthy infrastructure provides access to a broad range of services such as roads, water, sewer, electricity, and parks. We are being more strategic regarding our infrastructure investments, as being proactive makes our investments more cost effective whereas delaying these projects, just increases our costs.

The City of Grand Forks is 114 years old this year. Much of our infrastructure is nearing the century old mark. While most of us think of infrastructure “assets” as being roads, waterlines, and sanitary sewer lines; municipal assets also include infrastructure, such as buildings, parks, and the municipal fleet.
