The Shared Services Program is a cooperative effort between Middlesex County and the Middlesex County Improvement Authority. It supports Middlesex County towns by providing a way to reduce daily operating expenses through bulk purchasing. The program began in 1998, offering towns aggregate natural gas purchasing. This initiative resulted in substantial savings for participating towns in 1999. Today the Shared Services Program offers municipalities four ways to save tax dollars.
Municipalities can participate in one or more programs whatever best meets their unique needs.
What s more, some purchases may qualify for financing under the Middlesex County Improvement Authority s Equipment Purchasing Financing Program.
