The Resident Budget Priority Survey is a dynamic feedback tool where Mecklenburg County residents can provide their budget priorities by ranking services by level of importance to the County’s future. The results will be shared with the Board of County Commissioners. View the 2022 survey results.
Participatory Budgeting allows residents to determine how to best address the needs of their communities by turning ideas into actual project proposals, voting on which projects to fund, with winning projects being funded by the County.
Residents work with volunteer budget delegates representing each County Commissioner district to identify projects. Funding is evenly divided among the County Commissioner districts. Residents across the County offer their ideas. Ideas are vetted by County staff and then voted on by County residents. Winning proposals are funded with the expectation that all projects will be complete within 18 months. Click here to view the winning projects for Cycle 1 (FY2023).
The Meck Budget Simulator is a tool designed to allow County residents to show us how they would balance the budget.
