Buckeye City's cash flow is locked in for the next year, as the City Council gave the green light to the Fiscal Year 24/25 budget on June 4, pouring a tidy sum of about $687 million into the city coffers with an eagle eye on long-term financial health to make sure Buckeye folks keep getting the stellar services they're used to, both today and tomorrow.
In line with a financial plan that errs on the side of caution, the budget was built on conservative revenue guesses and it makes sure the city's General Fund doesn't go red; it backs up a full five-year roster for government buildings and other projects, stashes cash for rainy days, and lays down dollars on new facilities and infrastructures that bet on Buckeye's road ahead, stuff like a fresh traffic signal at State Route 85 and Baseline Road, land for the Buckeye Municipal Airport, buffed up Jackrabbit Trail and a span over the Buckeye Irrigation District's Canal on Rooks Road, not to mention widening Miller Road.
By sticking to a balanced budget and keeping an eye on the purse strings—the city's setting itself up to stand on financially solid ground with enough tucked away in the piggy bank, continuing its tradition of delivering reliable service to its residents; residents who’ve come to expect nothing less than the best from Buckeye.
