Down the road...
Muni bonds have existed forever but they are traded in closed venues and don't use modern tech
The concept of muni equity, as new forms of ownership come online, is growing
What if borough residents, working together, could build value and share in the upside?
Problem:
The borough doesn't collect taxes for repairing roads

Chambersburg DOES NOT collect taxes or fees for paving and major road repair operations, resulting in only a few blocks being able to be fixed per year. All taxes go to CPD and CFD. If you see a pot hole, do not log it in the paving request form.
Win/Win:
- Engineers get performance results on new products tested on real asphalt.
- The public gets more roads paved as allocated dollars get stretched out for more city blocks per year.
For an area that makes road equipment, we should have some of the best roads around
