County budget input session set

Mar. 15—HIGH POINT — The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will hear from their constituents on the upcoming county budget during an input session Monday night.

The budget town hall will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the Sylvia Mendez Newcomers School Media Center at 851 Ferndale Blvd., next to High Point Central High School. The session will give residents the chance to voice opinions and propose priorities for the upcoming 2024-25 fiscal year budget.

The Guilford County Board of Commissioners started the budget town halls last year to get input from constituents on spending priorities.

The meetings also will give an overview of Guilford County's programs and services, review the annual budget process and assess the economic conditions affecting the county's finances.

The commissioners approved an $840 million budget for the current fiscal year. The commissioners must approve a balanced budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year by July 1.

The High Point budget input session is the final one. The other two budget town halls were held in Greensboro earlier this week.
