$4.3 millionyearly gap between $6.4 million needed and $2.1 million invested, worked out by us from the plan
The Township's 2025 asset management plan says it invests about $2.1 million a year (not counting grants) and that this level will leave most asset groups in Poor or Very Poor condition within 25 years. It says keeping assets in good shape needs about $6.4 million a year. Its answer is a dedicated 2% yearly levy increase. The 2026 budget sets that step at $150,480 (worked out by us: about 3.5% of the $4.3 million yearly gap).

The 2025 statements show a budgeted surplus of $4,653,299. The Township's own note explains why: the statements leave out budgeted capital costs of $4,718,149 and reserve transfers, and the budget did not include amortization (the yearly wearing-out of assets).
