ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - It's that time of year that Allen County Commissioners start hitting the next year's budget process hard.
Wednesday, October 12th starts the budget hearings with each elected official and department head. Commissioners meet with each of them to go over the request they have submitted for operations in 2023. The budget commission has estimated that the revenue coming in may be a little less than in 2022 and commissioners want to be prepared.
"The tax budget came in about a month, month and a half ago with a vision of a slight decrease to it. So we're preparing for that. But we go off of the averages and kind of where they work through the years so hopefully, we aren't way off base," said Cory Noonan, Allen County Commissioner.
Noonan says that the final projected budget for 2023 will be presented in December and can't be passed by law until January. The budget for 2022 was just under 31.6 million dollars
