Hosting a Budget Academy ensures residents are well-informed, engaged and have a voice when it comes to how tax dollars are spent. It is this type of community engagement that demonstrates Coral Springs commitment to be the premier city in which to live, work and raise a family.”
Representatives from the Department of Budget and Strategy will present residents with an overview of the city’s budget process, including how tax dollars are allocated and used for city services and operations.
