Metropolitan Grove has a moderately active economy, with an annual GDP of about $281,836,052. The government budget of $45,430,761.60 is divided amongst the competing priorities of faith-based initiatives (33%), law and order (30%), human rights (12%), education (10%), environmental services (9%) and general government (6%); two major recent tax cuts have resulted in temporary economic benefits, offset in part by modest subsequent tax incrases. The educational system features the state's only municipal 4-year college, which prides itself not on its selectivity but rather on its ability to provide a university education to any city resident at least 18 years of age regardless of prior educational background.
