Chesterfield supervisors adopt FY23 budget
Another budget is in the books for Chesterfield County, this one featuring workforce investments and a tax rate cut.
The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors voted last week to adopt the county’s fiscal year 2023 budget, which will take effect July 1.
The county’s total FY23 budget is $1.8 billion, which is an increase of $185.3 million compared to the current FY22 budget. The budget features several initiatives to attract and retain employees amid a tight labor market, including higher starting salaries for first-responders and teachers.
The board also approved a 3-cent decrease to the real estate tax rate, which brings it to 92 cents per $100 of assessed value.
