Milton to host two budget public hearings

Milton will hold two public hearings on the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 7 and 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at City Hall, 2006 Heritage Walk.

The Fiscal Year 2023 process began in spring 2022 with each department informed by the city’s 2021-2025 Strategic Plan and 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Each department formulated budgets in three major areas: maintenance and operating, operating initiatives and capital project requests. With the city manager’s input and direction, a draft proposal was created and presented to the city council in August.
