Potential for regional services

I have been thinking about which town services have the highest potential for saving by being provided on a regional basis. Right now, I think that there are opportunities for savings in animal control, police dispatch, health inspection, building inspection, Council on Aging, schools, student transportation, and conservation. I am going to a regional meeting on Tuesday at 6PM at Apponequet High School sponsored by the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District (SRPEDD) ...

to discuss regional solutions. I hope to be able to garner cooperation and start discussions with representatives of regional towns.
