DUBOIS – City of DuBois leaders say finances are stable right now, but caution that careful spending and long-term planning will be critical as the city faces rising costs.
With about $8.1 million available across major funds, Interim Manager Lisa Hagberg says your tax dollars are keeping the city on solid footing for now, but officials still need to closely watch spending as infrastructure, debt, and consolidation expenses continue to grow.
“What we’re building towards is protecting our services, preserving it and the stewardship of our infrastructure,” explained Hagberg. “Improving the operational efficiencies every day, strengthening long-term reserves, and modernizing our finance system. So we can position ourselves for good growth and the goal is not simply stability, but a thriving and modernized city structure.”
She also said projects like water treatment upgrades could still impact future budgets.
