Budget Season: How Local Governments Can Build and Maintain Fiscal Health

_{Hosted by Institute for Local Government}

Is your local government agency engaging in your annual budgeting process? ILG and HdL Companies know this process is often heavily based on sales tax projections, a vital revenue source that continues to be impacted by economic uncertainty. We are here to help you weigh opportunities and balance the needs of your communities. This webinar presented current sales tax trends and two solutions to maximize tax revenues and achieve long-term fiscal health: 1) business license administration and 2) increasing opportunities for economic development. The City of Pacific Grove shared how these solutions helped their business community endure the pandemic and thrive in the aftermath of ever-changing guidelines and protocols.
