he city of Nancy is installing a lighting system in the Harvey Subdivision, which is considered to be a major general government capital project for the city. The system is being financed by levying $500,000 of special assessments on benefitted property owners and transferring $750,000 (in the next year) from the General Fund. $100,000 of these assessments were due and collected during the current year.
