What has the Town done to make sure they are stretching every tax dollar as far as possible?

The Town is planning to replace three buildings within the Levy Limit and without any additional taxes from a debt exclusion (library, fire, DPW). The plan has been in place for several years and requires maximizing funds available for capital improvements, operating as efficiently as possible, and building up reserves. One goal of the school building project is to use tax dollars more efficiently by leveraging economies of scale that come from operating two elementary schools rather than three.
