Cuts are being made across the board to the Fredericksburg City budget due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The new $94 million budget is a decrease from the original $103.4 million that was set before the pandemic hit in March. The new budget is also lower than last year's the $101 million operating budget.
"The City has been forecasting an estimated revenue shortfall between $4 and $8 million for FY 2020 through June 30. We won’t know until mid-August how much it will be, after we finish posting transactions related to June 30. But we’ve been encouraged somewhat by some of the returns that have not shown worse-case scenario declines and we might be looking at a range of about $3 or $4 million now." said city spokeswoman Sonja Cantu.
