City Council to hold initial public hearing on FY24 budget Monday
The Richmond City Council meets in regular session Monday at 6 p.m. The full agenda can be found here.
The council will hold an initial public hearing on the proposed budget for fiscal year 2024. The $3 billion proposal would hold the line on current tax rates while increasing the general fund budget to nearly $949 million, a 13 percent jump from the current fiscal year budget.
Initial budget amendments from the council are due Wednesday, and final amendments would be introduced at the April 24 regular meeting, setting the stage for a second public hearing May 8. Once approved, the budget would take effect July 1, the start of the fiscal year.
Other business includes a special-use request to allow outdoor dining at Cory Weiner’s mixed-use development at 310 W. Brookland Park Blvd. A development plan that was previously granted authorized a two-story building with nine apartments, 3,200 square feet of commercial space and six on-site parking spaces. The project includes a second two-story building at 322 W. Brookland Park Blvd.
The council plans to defer to its April 10 meeting a special-use request for Flournoy Development Group’s plan to build a six-story, 260-unit apartment building at 3600 Grove Ave., the site of the former Windsor Senior Living facility.
