Douglas County has relaunched the budget challenge so residents can partake in an online conversation about the county budget.

The question is, “How would you spend $500 to fund what is most important to you in Douglas County?”

Residents also have the opportunity to make general comments about the budget process, upload photos or videos to illustrate concerns or suggestions and put a value on the priorities they think are most important.

While the county will continue to hold its annual budget workshops as part of next year’s budget process, the online budget challenge will provide decision-makers with valuable insight from the community before the annual budget process begins. The online budget challenge is now open and available on the county’s website until Dec. 5.

The results from last year’s budget challenge lead to the county to make road funding a priority and continues to be an item of focus with the development of the road funding task force.
