Budget Listening Sessions Scheduled for December

The City of Raleigh wants to hear from you! The Budget and Management Services Department is hosting eight listening sessions to hear how residents want their tax dollars spent. Your input is critical to creating an equitable City budget.

In addition to two virtual sessions, there will be six opportunities for in-person engagement throughout December and January.

Virtual Sessions

Virtual sessions will be held via Zoom. If you choose a virtual session, you will receive the Zoom link after you sign up.
