It's About What YOU Want

Posted on September 1, 2010 at 9:44 AM by Stacie Galloway

14 residential developments in Morrisville were constructed with private streets, which are constructed to a lesser standard than public streets. About one third of Morrisville's population resides in these 14 neighborhoods. Two of these subdivisions have made requests to accept the roads into the Town's maintenance system.

Staff has developed an initiative to allow for the possibility to upgrade and convert private streets to publicly maintained streets, which would result in a Municipal Service District (MSD) that creates an additional temporary property tax for all homeowners residing in those neighborhoods.

Town Staff and Council are neither for nor against establishing a temporary MSD - the decision lies with the residents of the 14 neighborhoods.

Get informed
 and weigh in with your thoughts.  Is this something you and your neighbors want?
