And a new feature for the survey includes texting capability. Residents are now able to text “budget” to 1-833-686-1234 to receive a link to the survey via their smartphones.
For residents who would like to create their own version of the budget by adjusting expenses and revenues, the County’s “Meck Budget Simulator” is also available.
Board of County Commissioners will share results of the survey and the Meck Budget Simulator during their annual retreat in January.
