This event, hosted by Enterprise Partner Polco as part of NLC's Summer of Savings and Solutions, explored how cities can productively engage residents around the city budget, tax initiatives and more. Attendees gained practical information to help modernize budgeting, learned how to bring community input into successful, resilient government financing, and discovered real-world examples of local governments surmounting budget cutbacks through resident engagement.
