The Tompkins County Legislature invites members of the community to a public forum regarding the 2026 budget. The forum will include a brief update on the budget’s development and the opportunity for community members from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to comment on and ask questions about the budget. The county values the community’s input.
The forum will take place at the Tompkins County Legislature Chambers, 121 East Court Street, Ithaca, on Tuesday, September 30 at 5:30 pm. Members of the public are invited to attend in person or virtually; if attending virtually, pre-register to get the Zoom link. Each attendee will have up to three minutes to provide comment.
Those unable to attend the public forum may provide written feedback on the community engagement portal.
The public is encouraged to review the highlights of the county administrator’s 2026 recommended budget presentation as well as the digital budget book, where one can browse the departments, agencies, and projects supported by the county.
