Ex 1: a port or docks. Requires: access to water, the port design along with boats, and 100 iron / 20 gold for the "ships" and "trade". Benefits: water breathing, depth strider, and aqua infinity boosts in vicinity of plot designated as the "port", along with either income for town or lowered tax rate due to "business".

Ex 2: an airport. Requires: hangers, proper airplanes, entrance, 6+ plots, lots of iron / redstone / food / etc. Benefits: rework of the /t spawn [ ] system so that doing so costs more (50 meebles?). Level I airport drops you down to 30 meebles, II- 15, III-0, along with income for town.
Ex 3: a communication tower. Requires: the tower and 200 iron / 50 redstone / 20 gold / enderpearls. Benefits: unlocks /tc (town-chat).
Additional Ideas: choice of "electricity system" (i.e: pay coal, make coal plant; grow trees, biofuel); town hall (taxes?), emergency services (regeneration buff, disable firespread?).

Custom structures are a possibility, though unlocking things like /tc, cheaper /t spawn costs, and anything affecting taxes/upkeep are impossible.

Town perks such as lowered taxes and sources of income. This works in tandem with suggestions above and below to improve the towny experience. Towns could become slightly profitable if enough work is put into them, as opposed to the money-dump they are today. Additionally, there would be accountability from town staff towards residents, as improving the town gives them perks. Finally, this would be great for builders and resource gatherers, which is great for the economy in general.

This idea is impossible to implement with the current towny plugin.

Town quests. Examples include reaching 10, 25, 50, etc inhabitants; joining a nation; reaching 50, 100, 1000 plots, etc (I need help on this one). Benefits: meeble bonus in town bank, extra plots, lower taxes?

This is already done through the towny advancements (rewards are item based).

Additional "roleplay"-related item dumps (Ex: gunpowder for military; no military results in periodic stealing of funds in town bank...; etc).

If I decide to post a megathread, is it likely that my entire suggestion thread will be denied? Quite.

You've got some good suggestions, but some suggestions that (as Clue mentioned) won't be implemented. Megathreads are hard for us to classify on the forums (my organizational skillz are limited), so I am going to reject this thread... but we may look at some of these pieces individually.
