How Should Arlington County Prioritize Spending?

The County Manager is gathering input from the community as he develops his budget for fiscal year 2024. Each year, the County Manager is responsible for bringing forward a balanced budget to fund many services in our community. We encourage you to share your thoughts here.

Our next Government Affairs & Economic Development Committee meeting will welcome the County Manager and he will discuss his plans for Arlington in 2023, elaborate on the early stages of the FY 2024 budget process, and take policy questions from Chamber members.
