With property taxes capped (a good thing) and other limitations on how much funding we can request combined with a growing community (another good thing) it is becoming tougher to maintain our current level of offerings and services without seeking out alternative funding.
Check out our Pinterest board to see our current wishlist items that are outside our current scope of funding.
