Let me tag onto Denis' suggestion to manually add the data. If you can get people interested in OSM but sponsoring the update, then you'll have people that will keep it current. For a town of 8,100 people, it would only take a small handful to make a huge difference. And OSM is easy enough for the average person to grasp.
I'be be happy to help setting up the Tasking Manager for your project. +1 on the suggestion to use Carto or Mapbox to serve the tiles. You could do it yourself with Geoserver [1], Boundless offers a easy installation package. But the Mapbox or Carto offers much greater ease and you don't have to run the server.
