Generally, when talking about solid structures, the life cycle is usually 100 years, but the maintenance plan models for 50 years. In the context of instances where the LDA can upgrade, I understand that it has to be settlements with a population in excess of 30,000. The LDA does not go into small or medium-sized towns.
