Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
Using four priority levels instead of rankings that could reach 15 or 20 is intended to make capital requests easier to compare. The town has about $3.1 million available in its general fund, in addition to balances in enterprise funds. School facilities remain a major concern because many buildings are more than 70 years old, and one generator failure left heating, emergency lighting, and refrigeration unavailable during a recent outage.
