Hello, John.

 

Do you have a sense of how much of your city's budget goes to debt maintenance? What percentage is made up from state or federal funding? Does your place rely on grants and other outside funding to maintain its infrastructure?

 

What happens to your municipal budget after several months of economic slow-down and reduced personal spending?

 

Strong Towns founder Chuck Marohn recently ran the numbers again on his own town, and the outlook isn't great.

If you're already working to build fiscal resilience in your place, we hope we can support you in your efforts. If you're just now discovering the insolvency of your local budget, now is the time to do something about it, and we're here for you.

 

Building financial stability is a matter of survival for towns across America.

 

Stay well, 

 

– Lauren at Strong Towns
