Two central Alberta communities receive funding to better manage infrastructure assets
The Government of Canada along with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) have announced an investment of $322,710 in seven communities across the province, including two in central Alberta.
Officials say this funding will help them make data-driven decisions about key infrastructure and ensure long-term infrastructure performance.
- The Town of Penhold is receiving $50,000 to centralize asset management data, which will make it easier to find the age, cost and condition of each of their assets.
- The Town of Sylvan Lake is receiving $50,000 for its stormwater data collection and model update project which will provide data for the geographic information system and update the existing stormwater model with current and accurate data.
- The City of Brooks is receiving $50,000 to complete the first phase of the improvement plan that will address the highest priority actions over the first 12 months of the two-year plan, like improving asset management policy, developing a standardized system for grading the condition of the city’s assets, and improving risk assessments.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada says it is growing the country’s economy, increasing the resiliency of communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
