Waldoboro's Half-Price Municipal Building Effort
In Waldoboro Maine a 2500 resident town builds a new municipal building at about 20000 dollars thanks to broad civic cooperation. The project uses a town foreman as building supervisor and local merchants supply materials at cost while a local resident donates land for the site. The plan grew from a meeting after the old hall was condemned and shows how collective action lowers costs.
