Municipal infrastructure forms the foundation of Elgin County’s community, supporting economic growth, social wellbeing, and environmental sustainability through the delivery of essential services. The County’s Asset Management Plan (AMP) provides a structured approach to managing both core and non-core infrastructure in the most cost-effective and sustainable way. By assessing the current condition of assets, forecasting lifecycle needs, and planning for long-term funding, the AMP ensures that infrastructure continues to meet community needs while balancing risk, cost, and service quality.
Elgin County’s AMP is developed in compliance with Ontario Regulation 588/17 and builds on a phased approach. Phase 1 established the County’s Asset Management Policy in 2019, Phase 2 addressed core infrastructure in 2022, Phase 3 expanded to non-core assets in 2024, and Phase 4, finalized in 2025, sets proposed service levels and a financial strategy to guide investment over the next decade. Each phase reflects the County’s commitment to evidence-based planning, continuous improvement, and transparency, helping ensure that infrastructure supports sustainable service delivery now and for future generations.
