Fiscal Year 22 Budget Process
It is time to begin planning the fiscal year 2022 budget for the City of Winooski, which voters will see on the Town Meeting Day ballot on March 2, 2021. Members of the public are invited to participate in the budgeting process and share your thoughts, priorities, and concerns. At this time, all public meetings are being held remotely via Zoom. Community members can join by computer or telephone. These meetings are an opportunity for you to weigh in on how our tax dollars are spent before the City Council sets the budget. Please share your thoughts, ask questions, and tell us how you want your tax dollars spent.
