2024 City Budget Q&A sessions to be held this week

How do you think the City of Prince George’s 2024 budget should be shaped?

You’ll have the opportunity to have your say on the budget during a series of Q&A sessions being held this week:

  • October 24th, The Hart Pioneer Centre 5:00 p.m. – 7:00
  • October 25th, College Heights Secondary School 5:00 p.m. – 7:00
  • October 26th, Prince George Conference and Civic Centre 5:00 p.m. – 7:00

During these events, there will also be an opportunity to learn more about the Official Community Plan review with city planning staff.

“The budget determines how resources are allocated to essential services, infrastructure improvements and community programs. Resident feedback helps staff and Council make informed decisions that align with resident priorities,” said City Manager Walter Babicz.

“By participating in the surveys or coming along to the Q&A sessions later this month, residents have the opportunity to voice concerns, suggest improvements, and influence the allocation of resources where it matters most.”

Additionally, an online “Citizen Budget” survey is available until October 31st.

The community input will be provided to City Council prior to budget deliberations in January.
