City Financial Cashflow and Budget Monitoring

The financing arrangement could back city borrowing; the dollar amount wasn't stated at this meeting.

tax exemption

Eligible veterans will see immediate relief on their property tax bills, though the city will absorb a slight shift in tax revenue.

state funding

It injects $25 million straight into city coffers, keeping our local budget balanced without raising your taxes.

infrastructure funding

Leaving $40 million untouched means taxpayers are missing out on major infrastructure upgrades while construction costs continue to rise.

Union contract outcomes carry potential long-term fiscal implications for the city operating budget.

state funding request

Securing this funding could mean millions in state dollars flowing into Buffalo to pay for local upgrades without hiking our property taxes.
