DeKalb launches government finances site
A new DeKalb County website displays graphical information about how the government is spending taxpayers’ money.
The site, built with the government technology company OpenGov, includes charts that display facts about the government’s spending on police, courts, libraries, parks, housing, public works and more.
DeKalb is the first county in Georgia to use OpenGov’s technology, and the company currently works with the cities of Alpharetta, Dunwoody and Milton.
The website is available at dekalbcountyga.opengov.com.
