The Mayor and City Council of Grayson have approved the city’s operating and capital budget for fiscal year ending August 31, 2026. The $2,311,732 operating budget includes a nominal increase ($2,199 or one-tenth of a percent) in appropriations as compared to FY25 ($2,309,533). The city worked hard to put together a budget which keeps the millage rate the same as last year and maintains conservative spending while reflecting Grayson’s hometown values and support for events and programming that foster social connection and community spirit.
A $2,105,000 capital improvement budget was approved as an investment in preservation and enhancement of several important recreation and transportation related assets almost entirely with funds generated through the special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST) in 2017 and 2023. This year’s capital budget prioritizes and facilitates improvements to parks, roadsides, and facilities related to community engagement initiatives.
