What’s in Atlanta’s new budget and how do you fit in?
The city council usually adopts the finalized budget in a late June meeting, but the official deadline is June 30. The budget must be adopted before the fiscal year starts July 1.
The public doesn’t have much direct say during this vetting process, but there are opportunities to give feedback in public meetings. The year’s public budget hearing is on June 7th from 6:15 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. It is for both the budget and proposed increases in property tax millage rates.
If you want to take part in the budget proceedings, this meeting is a chance to make your feelings known–but you can also give direct feedback before June 7. Go ahead and contact your city council members to tell them what changes you want to see in your community.

Monroe-Armour Roundabout Work Progresses Toward Completion, Rescheduled for this Summer
Atlanta - Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) contractors have provided an updated schedule for completion of the Monroe-Armour Roundabout at the intersection of Monroe Drive NE and Armour Drive NE in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County. The revised schedule predicts an early July 2022 completion. Delays related to the relocation of several utilities in the project area (including Atlanta Gas Light, AT&T and Zayo) have been resolved. Continued construction of sidewalks and the roundabout center island is dependent on securing the required concrete quantities, given the nationwide shortage.
Check out our blog for complete info and project manager contact info. Please report extended delays in traffic.
