Deliberative Community Budget Forums
Mayor Peduto Invites Residents to Help Develop the City's 2016 Capital Budget
This year, the City is hosting two Deliberative Community Budget Forums to provide a more robust way for residents to share their ideas about what is most important. At these forums, neighbors will have a chance to learn about the budget and add their voices to the budgeting process as they engage with each other, community leaders, and city officials.Forums are open to every resident of Pittsburgh.
