This morning, Mayor Donna Deegan submitted her proposed 2026-2027 budget to the City Council. Visit https://t.co/Edi9e5PF3p to review it.

[Mayor Donna Deegan @MayorDeegan]

Jacksonville is a city on the rise, and our proposed budget continues that momentum. Every spending decision we make is geared to deliver a positive return for our citizens and make Jacksonville more affordable. We do that by making it healthier, safer, more competitive, more prosperous, and more prepared for the future.

This budget also reflects the people it serves: bold and thoughtful; compassionate and accountable; responsible and not afraid of the future. Because our future is worth investing in. Visit https://t.co/yFfsyEpW4E to review the budget and watch my budget address.
