Thanks to excellent fiscal management, Greenwich property taxes are among the lowest in the state. Education is something we are very proud of in Greenwich. Our parks and open space include over 1300 acres of town beaches and parks, playing fields, tennis courts and a municipal golf course. Our 4 libraries and numerous cultural events add to the resources available to our residents. The spirit of volunteerism pervades our Town.
Residents care deeply about our community and continually step forward to be involved.
It is particularly evident in our form of government. The First Selectman and two Selectman comprise the paid Board of Selectmen. The Board of Estimate and Taxation, the Town's Finance Board, is comprised of 12 members and the Representative Town Meeting is made up of 230 individuals who are all volunteers elected for two-year terms. Citizens are also appointed as members of boards and commissions that have policy-making authority. All Town employees are committed to serving the citizens of Greenwich and working to ensure that Greenwich provides excellent services.
