I'd rather allocate that $10k to some kind of feasibility study, to see what really should be prioritized when a much bigger budget is made available, since I don't really trust myself to know what an entire town really needs urgently
But if I had to be selfish, maybe we could fund an OpenStreetMap mapathon to help improve the online map of the town
Could not only improve ease of navigation of the town, but also get a clearer idea of how the space is used, which may give better insight on what might be worth redesigning in a larger project
I don't know how to say this but OpenStreetMapathons are actually completely free to host
At the minimum sure they can be free to host, but I'm also imagining loaning people equipment like gps receivers or laser measuring tools or 360 video cameras to improve map edit quality, and enticing people to come with sponsored food and drinks haha
