The 2026 operating budget includes an appropriation budget for all Township funds for 2026 and an updated 2026-2030 capital improvement plan. It is important to note that the legal requirement of adopting appropriations is limited to the 2026 budget figures only. The forecast information is for informational, planning, and decision-making purposes only.

The process used to develop the 2026 Board Adopted Budget included a comprehensive look at all the financial areas of the Township’s operations, levels of service, capital needs, and resource availability. The budget process begins in the early summer months when Departments begin submitting their operating and capital requests for the following year. Then, throughout late summer and early fall, the Finance Department organizes the requests into a preliminary budget, which then begins the public review process that includes several public meetings in October and November. During those meetings, the budget is presented, reviewed, and refined into the final “Board Approved” version that is scheduled to be adopted at the Board of Commissioner’s December 2025 meeting. The full budget calendar is included in the budget document.
