CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Feb. 7, 2022) – The City of Charlotte is eagerly seeking additional input from Charlotte residents regarding their budget priorities for the city's next fiscal year.

Through March 27, residents can rank their budget priorities for fiscal year 2024 using the city's FY 2024 Budget Survey.

Residents can also share feedback through the Balancing Act simulator. Balancing Act is a tool that allows residents to test their budgeting skills and balance the city's more than $3 billion budget.

"The input from Charlotte residents is the foundation of our budget each fiscal year," said Ryan Bergman, director of the City of Charlotte Strategy & Budget Department. "This is why we are urging everyone to take a moment to tell us what is important for them so we can create a budget that supports a full view of priorities."

After feedback from residents has been received, the budget department will hold workshops for the community and City Council in February and March. The city manager will present his recommended FY 2024 budget on May 1.

The workshops and presentation can be streamed on the GOV Channel and YouTube.
