FY27 Budget Listening Session
The Brattleboro Selectboard will host a listening session to begin the FY27 budgeting process on Thursday, Sept. 11 from 6:15 to 8 p.m. at Brooks Memorial Library. This is an opportunity for the public to share their ideas directly with the Selectboard outside the typical meeting format.
This is an in-person event only; there will not be a Zoom or livestream option for this meeting. The session will be recorded and available to view at a later date on BCTV and BCTV's YouTube channel.
The conversation will continue during Selectboard meetings throughout the remainder of 2025 and into early 2026. Future updates about the FY27 budget process will be available at Brattleboro.gov/fy27budget.
