  • People’s Budget Town Hall: What’s in the County Budget for Us?

    Forsyth County Commissioners will meet to review and discuss the county’s proposed budget — decisions that directly impact our schools, housing, public safety, and community services.

    That evening, we’re bringing the conversation to you.

    Join us for a community-centered budget town hall where Democratic members of the Forsyth County Commission — along with a candidate for county commissioner — will break down:

    What was discussed in the budget meeting earlier that day
    Key priorities and tradeoffs in the proposed budget
    What decisions are still ahead before final approval in June

    This is your chance to hear directly from decision-makers and ask questions about how county resources are being allocated.

    Why it matters

    Budgets are about priorities — and priorities shape our daily lives.

    This is a critical moment in the budget process, and your voice matters before final decisions are made.
