Description
As current economic conditions and funding limitations make it imperative for Commonwealth communities to stretch resources and economize, the CSC wants municipal officials to know that not only is this community-owned and community-run organization managing state budget cutbacks, it is moving ahead with ambitious plans that will potentially benefit all 351 cities and towns. The CSC's activities and possibilities are not limited to any department or software solution-if it makes sense to share or jointly purchase software or services, the CSC can do it. The CSC is set up under M.G.L. 40, 4A, a statute providing for interlocal purchasing agreements. It currently consists of about 75 communities organized into self-governing tiers- an assessors', personal property, and collectors' tier.
