Proposed FY 2022 Budget Released
County Manager Mark Schwartz’s proposed $1.36 billion FY 2022 budget, released on Feb. 20, serves to bridge the County through the COVID-19 pandemic, while addressing the economic impacts of the past year and investing in critical areas. The proposed budget continues many of the holds put in place during the pandemic, including delayed hiring and facility re-openings, and reinstating some County services. However, it does make investments in ongoing pandemic relief efforts, housing affordability, equity work and Arlington Public Schools (APS), among other priorities. Learn more here.
