Community priorities stressed in new budget

The new budget in place for Westminster is a spending document that Mayor Rick McCormick believes focuses on community priorities and special performance goals and measures for individual departments. Revenues and expenses are aligned in a format to better communicate spending items and how they relate to the past. Among the funded projects is the completion of the Cobb Bridge Road waterline. Included also are advanced metering infrastructure, transformer replacement, and sewer rehabilitation projects. The new Westminster budget can be found on the city’s website in the financial documents section at http://www.westminstersc.org/administration.
