Metropolitan Council’s Public Comment Draft of the 2023 Unified Budget
On Wednesday, the Metropolitan Council adopted the Public Comment Draft of the 2023 Unified Budget at their regular meeting. The draft unified budget combines the proposed operating budget and capital program for the Metropolitan Council into a single document. Changes to the budget, capital program, and/or reductions to levies may occur before final council adoption in mid-December. The proposed budget for operations, pass-through programs, and debt service is $1.311 billion. The proposed 2023 capital program totals $9.83 billion.
Public comments will be accepted by the Metropolitan Council via phone, mail, or email until 5:00 PM on December 14, 2022.
