Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 Recommended Budget

Our local partnerships remain a vital part of our economic strategy. We are proud to collaborate with these organizations who share our vision for inclusive prosperity. Together, we are building a local economy that is diverse, resilient, and positioned to ensure opportunity reaches every corner of our city. Closing Remarks In closing, the FY 2025-26 budget is not a budget of short-term headlines. It is a budget of long-term impact. It reflects a disciplined approach to spending, strategic investments in our people, neighborhoods, and infrastructure, and a commitment to public trust. It balances pragmatism with vision and maintains our focus on a Greensboro that is safer, stronger, and more prosperous for all. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to our Budget and Evaluation team, our department leaders, and the dedicated staff across our organization who worked creatively and collaboratively to develop this plan. I also thank each member of this Council for your leadership and partnership. The budget before you reflects our shared priorities, and it represents a city government that is growing smarter, protecting what matters, and investing in the future of a community that works for everyone. Mayor and Council, this is now your budget. I look forward to our continued dialogue as we strengthen this proposal together. Respectfully submitted,

Nathaniel “Trey” Davis, III City Manager
