View the Interim Administrator's Proposed FY 2023 Budget

Augusta, Georgia Interim Administrator Takiyah A. Douse presented her recommended FY2023 proposed budget during the Augusta Commission meeting held on October 18, 2022.

The Administrator’s FY23 budget covers six strategic priorities, including economic development, external relationships, infrastructure, governance and finance, public safety, and quality of life. The plan also includes data collected from Augusta citizens through feedback from public budget forums and an online survey that offered the community’s perspective and concerns.

The Interim Administrator’s proposal brings forward a recommendation for $1.07 billion, a nearly 2% decrease from the 2022 amended budget of $1.09 billion. 

“While we continue to mitigate risks associated with our recent global pandemic, the proposed FY23 budget reinforces our commitment to fiscal stewardship, operational efficiency, and strategic investments to provide cost-effective, high-quality government services to the citizens of Augusta,” Douse said. “While there has been much to overcome in 2022, Augusta has been laser-focused on being adaptable to change as we continue remaining structurally balanced and creating a long-term strategy for infrastructure n our community.”
