GOOD NEWS...The Town continues (since 2008) to have the highest possible bond rating from Standard & Poors (AAA) and (since 2010) (Aaa) from Moody's. Less than 1% of communities in the nation have this record of financial stability. Recently (09/19/19), Standard & Poors once again reaffirmed the Town's highest rating and on (9/18/19) Moody's reaffirmed the Town's highest rating.
