An estimate

Greenwich Township didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $500,000; interest on debt $255,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $12.4 million.
About “Other”.36% of Greenwich Township’s day-to-day spending ($4 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
