City of Greater Sudbury receives support for stronger asset management practices
February 9, 2022
From roads and buildings, to waste water systems – strong asset management is key to building strong communities. Municipalities of all sizes need the tools and support to make evidence-based decisions that can help them plan a healthier, safer and more prosperous future for everyone.
That is why our Government is investing $50,000 in Sudbury through the Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP), which is delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities on behalf of the federal government.
Thanks to this investment, residents of Sudbury will soon benefit from Sidewalk Condition Index for the City of Greater Sudbury Road Network, which will fill existing gaps in the sidewalk network, at the highest priority locations throughout Greater Sudbury.
The MAMP aims to strengthen infrastructure investment decisions based on reliable data and sound asset management practices through asset management training, funding and information sharing.
