Dayton budget includes allocations for pipeline connection, new pathway system
SHERIDAN — The $1.95 million fiscal 2022 budget for the town of Dayton includes spending for several high-profile projects in the town.
One of the biggest expenses in the town’s $780,000 general fund will be a $60,000 line item for the connection of the city’s properties to the recently completed Tongue River Valley natural gas pipeline, Mayor Norm Anderson said.The cost of connection to the pipeline ended up being higher than previously anticipated following the Tongue River Valley Joint Power Board’s acceptance of a bid from Buffalo’s WyoDak Energy Services earlier this month.
“It will take a big bite out of our budget,” Anderson said. “But in the long run, we still believe it will be a cost savings compared to what we are paying for propane for our city facilities.”
