PA Budget Priorities for FY25

Responses to our Voice

In response to the PA budget requests the following items have been confirmed as included in the City and County Budgets. The Official County budget is not on-line. Nearly 100% of our budget requests were met!!

Over 23% of PA member voted on our budget priorities this year. Many attended City and County Meetings to speak on behalf of the PA priorities. 

It was rewarding working with our Movement Partners: Bike Durham, the Coalition for Affordable Housing and Transit, Durham For All and the Durham Association of Educators.
