The Troy area of Wisconsin consists of several communities. The largest is the Village of East Troy and the Town of East Troy; next is the town of Troy Center; and Troy is a very small community. With the budget problems of Wisconsin being similar to those of all the states these days, these communities are discussing the possibilities of consolidation or sharing resources.
