Gwinnett County 2014 Budget: Comments On Proposed Budget Accepted Until Dec. 31

Time is running out to submit your comments online for Gwinnett County's proposed 2014 budget.

Gwinnett Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash formally presented a proposed $1.5 billion budget for fiscal year 2014 to the Board of Commissioners during a briefing on November 19, 2013.

After a public hearing and period for public comment, commissioners will vote on the budget proposal on January 7, 2014, during their first meeting of the year.

Four county residents and business people served on Nash's budget review committee. After hearing presentations from elected officials and department directors in September, the group studied departmental business plans, budget needs, and revenue projections to make recommendations for the 2014 budget. 

Despite millions of dollars in justified requests, the proposed budget includes funding for only a small number of new resources and initiatives. Read more about the proposed budget.
