As Fayette County prepares for a new fiscal year budget, the revenue picture is positive. That’s according to Urban County Government Finance Commissioner Erin Hensley. She went over City finances last week as the Council Budget Committee begins its review of Mayor Linda Gorton’s recommended budget. Hensley said her office anticipates moderate revenue growth.
“Traditionally pre-pandemic our revenue growth was about three or four percent. We’re actually expecting about six percent next year which is still strong for us, but not the eleven-twelve percent that we’ve experienced over the last couple of years. So, we’re really returning to our normal course of business,” said Hensley.
