Andover Seeks Resident Ideas For Capital Projects

Up to $20,000 is available for individual projects costing up to $10,000, the town said.

"Have you always wanted a bench in a certain part of town?" the town asked. "Is there a traffic island you would like to spruce up?"

Residents have until Dec. 1 to pitch projects using the Participatory Capital Budgeting form here.
