SUMMARY REPORT - CAPITAL BUDGET PROGRAM


Under the provisions of the contract calling for the preparation of a capital budget program for the Town of Wilmington for the years 1959-1964, a draft of this work was completed previous to the 1959 Town Meeting. Due to the fact that the school facility study had not been completed at that time, and since school construction presents the most urgent demand for capital outlay expenditures during the years ahead, and any capital outlay program omitting a definitive school construction schedule would be of little value, it was agreed to postpone the submission of the capital budget. It was also agreed to update the same so as to provide for the years 1960-1965. The following summary of the Capital Budget, so revised, is herewith submitted.


Wilmington is a town which because of its natural advantages, because of its being in the stream of the urbanization of the outlying area of Metropolitan Boston, and particularly due to the progressive and sound management of its municipal affairs, has proved attractive to many seeking home sites and industrial locations. This has resulted in rapid growth during the past decade.


Wilmington's growth and expanding population has created numerous problems, the major one being the placing of a serious strain upon the town's financial capacity in providing adequate school building faci- lities for the present and foreseeable future, and meeting ever increasing annual school operational costs.


This growth will continue and its continuance will compound the town's existing problems and the de - mand for capital expenditures, at least until such time as a balance between home and industrial and com- mercial construction has been reached.


It is fortunate indeed for the Town of Wilmington as well as for each of its property owners who have made substantial investments in the Town, that its citizens through the leadership of their elected and appointed officials, adopted certain measures to guide and control the Town's development previous to the full impact of its rapid growth. Because of this farsighted action, particularly in the areas of town planning and the adoption of desirable zoning and subdivision regulations, the security of Wilmington's future and its citizens' investments in it have been strengthened. Had such not been the case, the Town's growth, uncon- trolled, could well have been self-destructive and rather than facing problems within the scope of solution, the Town could today have been faced with financial disaster.


As has been mentioned previously, Wilmington has, and will continue to have, problems during the immediate years ahead. Their solutions will prove difficult and extremely expensive, cause some temporary inconveniences, require some belt-tightening and hard-headed management, and perhaps above all demand the patience and understanding of all concerned.


Since the Town has no problem which could not be solved by a sufficient supply of money, it is obvious that at this state of the Town's development, financial planning must join hands with physical planning and become a vital part of the Town's program of development.
