Understanding Lynchburg's Budget Process

With new changes in Lynchburg's City Council leadership, this spring's budget process has the potential to significantly shift which city services get funding---and what gets cut. For context, the proposed FY 2024 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (All Funds) slices $45.8 million off the top, compared to last year's budget. The proposed budget is more than 500 pages long---and it can be difficult for regular citizens to understand the process, how funding decisions are finalized, and how to best advocate for the issues they care about. But we can help! Please join us on Tuesday, March 28th, from 6-8pm, to learn more about this topic. There's a lot on the line, and this is a great opportunity to get ready for the lead up to the April 4 public hearing (and subsequent City Council meetings).
