Christiansburg, VA - Your Town @ Work


Welcome to Town @ Work, a blog by the Town of Christiansburg that focuses on the services brought to you by your local government.

Whether it is turning on the water tap, placing garbage at the curb, or needing emergency services, there are many, many aspects of service provided to our residents that are just simply "there." Quite often these services -- and all the work that goes into providing them -- are overlooked or even taken for granted until there is a problem.

The goal of this blog is to help overcome this oversight. We hope to share information with our citizens so they gain a better understanding of the work that goes on in each department as town staff strives to serve the people of Christiansburg.

So we hope you will follow the town's Public Relations Officer, Becky Wilburn, as she ventures from department to department to learn how each operates, what they are responsible for, and just what it takes to "do the job" and keep the town up and running.

Every month will focus on a different department in Christiansburg, a Town @ Work.

Priority Based Budgeting

So... I know the second posting is tardy.  My genuine apologies.  With such a recent focus on gathering citizen input for our new approach to budgeting (have you filled out your exercise?), as well as the search for a new town manager, it has been difficult to do due diligence with a detailed look at the Finance/Treasurer's Office.  Still, it is not an excuse and I expect to be back on track near the end of April.  I hope you can bear with me until then, as there are plenty more town departments to examine. 

In the meantime, please take a look at new information on priority based budgeting that includes where the town currently is in this process.  Enjoy -- and I promise to be back soon!
