You can do something!
The town is looking to address a 'financial crisis' by taking money out of the Capital Projects Fund. While some may argue that the money is for a needed expense, the town is being short-sighted by continuing to tap into this fund for minor projects. This money should be used for a major investment in the community - such as infrastructure improvements to the South Business District (as described in the Town's Master Plan). Making an investment in this part of town, to bring some quality businesses to Bridgewater, will improve the long-term financial health of Bridgewater.
