2027 - 2028 Budget engagement has begun

Finance staff have been at community events this spring and summer talking to residents about the 2027 - 2028 budget.

New this year, the City is shifting to a two-year budget cycle. This provides time for decision-makers to assess programs and services and make data-driven decisions about resource allocation. This new approach will ensure the investments being made are impactful and aligned with the community’s needs and values.

If you don’t catch the Budget Team at a community event this summer, you can still share your priorities for the 2027-2028 budget. Share comments at blm.mn/budget-engagement. Learn more at blm.mn/budget.
