Londonderry sets timelines to digitize town assets, map cemeteries and inventory roads
Summary
At a strategic-planning workshop April 22, Londonderry officials set firm deadlines to digitize asset records, complete a pavement-condition inventory by the end of 2026 and create a digital cemetery map by March 2027 to support budgeting and maintenance work.
The Londonderry Town Council on April 22 moved to accelerate digitization of town assets, adopting timelines for pavement, fleet and cemetery records that officials said will improve budgeting and maintenance planning. Presenters said the effort will convert paper inventories into an OpenGov-based system and post public-facing maps and reports.
Council leaders and public works staff said the immediate goal is operational data the town can use during the budget season and for long-term capital planning. "It's not a wish list, it's an action list," the Chair said, framing the strategic plan as a near-term set of achievable priorities. Public works staff listed specific targets including a pavement condition inventory integrated into the asset-management system by the end of calendar year 2026 and a requirement that 100% of newly acquired vehicles and equipment be entered into OpenGov within 30 days of acquisition by the end of fiscal year 2027.
Officials described the benefits in budgeting and service delivery: asset life-cycle schedules will flag replacements in advance and a public map will show pavement condition, planned road projects and priorities. "You'll be able to see a map of the pavement condition on every road in the town," a staff presenter said, promising color-coded road condition scores and an annually updated list of planned repairs. The presenter also described plans to expand work-order and maintenance tracking so residents and supervisors can see response times and backlog data.
The council discussed cemetery mapping as a priority in the asset list: staff proposed a digital, searchable cemetery map that residents could access remotely and a March 2027 roadmap to support perpetual-care planning. "That way the public can access that data, and people like to do genealogical studies," a public-works presenter said when describing the proposed system.
Next steps: staff will continue converting paper inventories to OpenGov, roll out internal work-order ticketing by the end of FY2027 and provide council updates on the pavement inventory and the cemetery roadmap. The council scheduled additional review of how the new asset data will be presented to the public ahead of the next budget cycle.
