JACKSON, Tenn. - On Tuesday, June 8, 2021, the City of Jackson City Council passed the FY 22 budget by a unanimous vote.
The FY 22 Budget plans for a balanced budget of $75.9 million with no increase in fees or property taxes.
The budget includes increased spending on infrastructure and increased spending to create more police officer and firefighter positions to ensure public safety and a higher quality of life for the citizens of Jackson.
“I want to thank the Budget Committee, the Finance Department, our Department Heads and the City Council,” said Mayor Scott Conger, “Due to their collective hard work; the city council passed a balanced budget for FY22.”
The City of Jackson is planning the largest single-year street repaving project, which is set to begin this year, and offering a year-end bonus to all full-time equivalent employees.
“Our Department Heads and employees have worked hard to put us in a financial situation to increase spending in important areas without raising property taxes,” said Mayor Conger. “Our employees deserve bonuses and you deserve better streets.”
