Budget Engagement 2027

The Township provides the local services, infrastructure, and programs that help make our community a great place to live, work, and visit. The annual budget process helps determine how we will continue to deliver these services while planning for the future. It provides a roadmap for how resources are allocated, balancing community priorities, service needs, and financial responsibility.

We know our residents want more opportunities to learn about the budget and share their thoughts throughout the process. This year, the Township is introducing new ways to get involved, including a community budget survey and a series of Budget Spotlights that will highlight the services, priorities, and plans for each department. We encourage everyone to explore these resources and share their feedback as we work together to plan for the year ahead.

Each Spotlight will be released bi-weekly.
