Start with an Asset Management Plan

As a local government leader, your job is to deliver services your community needs in a fair, economical way. This helps create safer and happier residents, more flourishing businesses, more drivable roads, cleaner parks and safe drinking water, but this is made harder by today's unprecedented challenges like aging infrastructure, the loss of institutional knowledge, climate related events, siloed views of your community's needs, and conflicting priorities between maintaining and growing your community. Despite these obstacles, you still need to make smart decisions that deliver results. So how do you do it? It starts with an asset management plan. An asset management plan empowers you to analyze existing assets, assess risk, and make more informed budget decisions through cross departmental collaboration. This not only helps your city understand what you have and how it fits your current needs, it also fosters resiliency and ensures your plans are accurate, affordable and closely aligned with your biggest goals. With a comprehensive asset management plan, you can align all departments on the current and future needs of your community's assets, enabling you to more effectively invest in new assets while maintaining your existing ones. You can also leverage real time data to secure grant funding and better engage your community for input to gain new ideas and show investment impacts. At Brightly, we know your assets help define your city and we can help you use them to create a stronger foundation that drives your community forward.
