As a cornerstone of Norfolk being a well managed government, it is important that development of the city’s FY 2013 budget have meaningful public input. The city, during the month of January, will host five community conversations on the economic backdrop focusing on building community understanding of the fiscal challenges facing Norfolk, we will also open a forum for comments. The forum will stay open throughout the budget process. The early start to public discussions on the fiscal challenges is structured to ensure residents have opportunities to discuss spending priorities, service delivery strategies, and savings strategies. Your participation in these community conversations strengthens the city as a service provider as well as continues efforts to become a more inclusive government during these difficult economic times.

Check back soon. Documents, videos and other information will be added as it becomes available.

• Thursday, January 26 - 6-8pm @ Mary D. Pretlow Anchor Branch Library
