City Budget Work Sessions
The City of Fayetteville invites residents and stakeholders to attend a series of Budget Work Sessions which began May 16 at 10 a.m. at City Hall. Future dates will be published. These sessions are crucial as city officials discuss and refine the fiscal year budget.
The Budget Work Sessions will be open to the public and are aimed at fostering transparency and community involvement in the municipal budgeting process. These discussions will take place in Council Chambers at City Hall located at 433 Hay Street.
There will be a Public Hearing on May 28, at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. This hearing gives community members another opportunity to voice their opinions on how public funds are allocated.
The Budget Work Sessions and Public Hearing are integral to our commitment to an open and participative government. It is encouraged for all residents to attend and engage during this process as the budget is aimed to align fiscal strategies with the community’s needs.
