CONWAY — Selectmen approved a $9.1 million 2012 budget on Tuesday, an increase of $119,823 over last year. It will now go to the budget committee for review before it heads to the voters for amendment and approval this spring.
The police, highway, solid waste departments all had increases of more than $50,000, according to the draft summary town manager Earl Sires passed out.
