Good news from Stockbridge audit

Stockbridge officials announced Aug. 9 that a recent financial audit shows the city in excellent shape. The findings by the CPA firm of Mauldin & Jenkins for the 2020 calendar year reported a general fund balance of just over $17 million, as well as cash flow from business operations totaling nearly $953,000 for the year.

City manager Randy Knighton said the city’s healthy financial position is the result of fiscal responsibility and prudent stewardship by its elected officials. Information: cityofstockbridge.com.
