Town Ordinance

The Town Ordinance is one of the improvement options the player has as mayor in their town in. The other role is the ability to create Public Works Projects. There are four ordinances in total, which are a type of law which affect the way in which the town operates. They cost 20,000 Bells each to create and can be changed in the Town Hall. You can only have one ordinance in effect at a time.
