City of Castlegar Budget 2020 - get involved, have your say!
By City of Castlegar
The City of Castlegar wants to hear from residents as it develops the 2020 budget.
The City’s 2019 budget funded core assets, infrastructure and operations, enabling the City to turn its attention to growth as it begins the budgeting process for 2020. The City will continue building the foundation for a prosperous and growing city by putting short and long-term strategies into action to ensure the community is financially poised to take advantage of future opportunities.
“We want to hear what people think is working well, what could be improved, and where community members place value and priority,” says Mayor Bruno Tassone. “Hearing feedback gives Council and staff the opportunity to incorporate ideas from residents into the City’s decision making and budgeting process.”
