Not specific to Tolland, but with the high CT State deficit, $350 to $500 million ++ and no specific plans to remedy, the state assistance to schools/towns and other grants might be or are taking a hit. Schools are readjusting their curriculums as well as class size going to the max. Reliance on property/real estate taxes, even with the sales and income tax.

Some school systems now require participation payments for sports or join in with other school systems for sports programs.

Not a negative, as I have not had any problems, but just awareness, every town does not have 100% public water and sewer system. Some areas with high underground water tables requiring foundation drainage and/or bilge pumps in the cellar. Smaller towns, volunteer Fire Depts/Ambulance and Resident State Troopers ( excellent ) , rather than a Police Dept

CT has Town/City government, individually for all 169, with their own Boards of Education.The County is mostly for geographical purposes, and some smaller towns have schools on a regional basis.

No surprises, might want to check on the transfer of registration procedure for a kit car i.e., Composite.

Will also add as a plus, the proximity to winter sports in VT & NH going North 1.5 to 2.0 hours

College Basketball: GO UCONN !!!! ( at least the Women's Team )

Overall........CT and the region has a lot to offer
