Development of a balanced budget is a fundamental responsibility of local governing bodies; North Carolina General Statutes govern the requirements of the budget development process.
The development of the FY2024 budget began in November 2022. The Davidson Board of Commissioners and town staff developed the town’s two-year strategic plan in early 2022, with approval coming in April 2022. Concurrently, town staff considered the merits of budget requests as revenue projections were calculated. Cost estimates were based on historical trends or actual quotes. The proposed budget emerged as expenses were prioritized by needs of the town and alignment with the Davidson Strategic Plan.
