City’s 2025-26 Fiscal Year budget process begins

The City of Rochester kicked off the 2025-26 fiscal year budget planning process with opportunities for public input, including an online survey that ran from September 9 to November 4, a telephone town hall meeting on October 28, and various community events including Roc the Block, Fall Fest, Westside Market, Charlotte Library Food Distribution Program, International Plaza, University Ave Fire Station Open House, and the Public Market.

The Mayor and the Office of Management & Budget again offered community input opportunities toward the beginning of the City’s preparation process so that public input can more effectively inform budget decisions. The proposed 2025-26 City of Rochester Budget will be released on Friday, May 9, 2025 and will include a Community Input Report.
