A Fulton County commissioner is holding a virtual town hall Wednesday on the county’s upcoming 2021 budget.

Commissioner Natalie Hall, whose district almost entirely covers the city of Atlanta, will discuss priorities for the county’s proposed $1.1 billion budget.

The 6 p.m. event will feature a presentation from the county’s finance department.

County staff in November explained the prospective budget, which includes $42 million to fight COVID-19. The budget assumes no property tax growth and a 94% collection rate for billings.

It is expected that commissioners will approve the budget during a January meeting.
