The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will hold a series of budget town hall meetings and livability forums to hear from the community about the fiscal year 2026-27 county budget and proposed strategic plan. There will be five sessions held from early to mid-April at different locations throughout the county.
During the annual budget town halls, residents are invited to share their input on the County’s funding priorities. These sessions provide an opportunity to learn more about the services provided and the state and federal mandates that guide the County’s budget process. Resident participation is a critical part in helping the county shape a budget that reflects the needs and values of our community.
Before the town hall sessions, residents can engage with county staff to learn about county services and provide feedback on the proposed strategic plan called “Advancing Our Livability.” Livability means people of all ages, abilities, and incomes can experience the opportunity to live, learn, work, and play in a desirable and supportive environment that honors the uniqueness of individuals, a vibrant culture, and access to amenities and resources. Guilford County is seeking community feedback on five identified goal areas: Healthy and Thriving People, Lifelong Success, Safe and Resilient Communities, Sustainable and Vibrant Communities, and Operational Support and Fiscal Sustainability.
Each session begins at 5:30 p.m. with the livability forum, followed by a county budget overview and community input from 6:15 to 7:30 p.m. See the list below for the dates and locations of the budget town halls and livability forums.
