City Continues In-Person Budget Outreach at Dewey Avenue Fire Station Open House Saturday

Members of the City of Rochester’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will continue a series of in-person outreach activities to gather public input for the City’s fiscal year 2026-27 budget on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Dewey Avenue Fire Station Open House, 1477 Dewey Ave.

The series of in-person budget input sessions will continue through Oct. 25 at upcoming public events, where OMB staff invite the public to offer feedback on budget priorities.  

The final in-person outreach activity will take place at The Rochester Public Market, 280 N. Union St., on Saturday, Oct 25, from 8:30 to 11 a.m. 

The City also encourages residents to participate in other community-input opportunities during the City’s annual budget process: an online survey and a Telephone Town Hall community forum. 

The online survey, available at www.cityofrochester.gov/budget, will be live through Nov. 10.  

The Telephone Town Hall will take place on Monday, Oct. 27, and provide thousands of city residents with an opportunity to participate in a live discussion about budget planning by phone with Mayor Evans and senior members of his staff.
