City of Pittsburgh Gathering Community Input on 2025 Capital and Operating Budgets
City announces opportunities for residents to share their input for the 2025 Capital and Operating Budgets
Pittsburgh, PA – The Office of Management and Budget welcomes residents’ input on the City of Pittsburgh’s 2025 Capital and Operating Budgets through in-person community meetings, virtual engagement, and online surveys. Residents will have the opportunity to provide input about their budget priorities prior to Department Directors creating their budget proposals and the information shared will help inform Directors in the creation of their proposals.
“Budgets are the road maps that provide insight into what we most value as a city,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. “The 2025 Budget engagement process will give our residents an opportunity to voice their ideas on the direction for our city’s future. It is critical for the forward momentum of this city that everyone takes the time to let us know what they believe should be the City’s priorities.”
The City will host five in-person community engagement meetings and one virtual forum in order to gather input from residents on their priorities for the 2025 Budget. Residents are also encouraged to register for their preferred meeting and take the online survey available at: 2025 City of Pittsburgh Budgets | Engage Pittsburgh (pittsburghpa.gov).
