Leggett Schedules First Budget Public Forum for Jan. 5
Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett is scheduled to hold the first of five budget forums the first week in January to seek input from residents about Fiscal Year 2016 Operating Budget priorities.
The forum will begin at 7 p.m. on Monday, January 5 at the BlackRock Center for the Arts at 12901 Town Commons Drive in Germantown.
“Public forums give residents an opportunity to tell me what’s important to them as I prepare next year’s operating budget for submission to the County Council on March 16,” said Leggett. “Input from residents for the FY16 budget is crucial in helping me determine the County’s budget priorities.”
Additional forums in other areas of the County are scheduled throughout January.

• Tuesday, January 20, Eastern Montgomery Regional Services Center, 3300 Briggs Chaney Road, Silver Spring.
