Did you know Wake County currently operates within a $2 billion budget? Are you interested in learning how the County puts your tax dollars to work? If you answered “yes,” we encourage you to attend one of our upcoming budget education sessions.
“Developing our annual budget is a complex process that requires months of extensive planning and discussion,” said Wake County Commissioner Tara Waters. “These educational sessions will break it down into easy-to-understand steps, so interested residents can leave feeling more informed about our efforts to make the best use of every tax dollar.”
The educational sessions will take place this spring at public libraries across the county. Some will feature a formal presentation, budget activity, and question-and-answer period. Others will offer a more informal opportunity for residents to talk directly with budget experts at a table set up inside the library.
- North Regional Library: A presentation will be held on Monday, March 24, from 10–11 a.m.
- Eva Perry Regional Library: A presentation will be held on Thursday, March 27, from 6:30–7:30 p.m.
- Oberlin Regional Library: A tabling event will be held on Wednesday, April 2, from 3–5 p.m.
- Southgate Community Library: A tabling event will be held on Monday, April 7, from 11 a.m.–1 p.m.
- Southeast Regional Library: A tabling event will be held on Tuesday, April 8, from noon–2 p.m.
