GREENWOOD, Ind. – The Greenwood Common Council recently approved the City of Greenwood’s 2025 operating budget, showcasing the commitment of Mayor Mark Myers to the community’s needs while experiencing continued growth.
Mayor Myers stated, “The 2025 budget was created with the goal of bettering the City of Greenwood. The collaboration from department leaders highlights the city’s commitment and priorities for the coming year. Residents will see that this budget improves public safety, infrastructure, economic development, and quality of life.”
The city’s tax rate will remain the same as in 2024 and utilize a general obligation bond to make capital investments in the city to maintain and repair infrastructure. The property tax levy accounts for the city’s fast growth over the last three years compared to the rest of the state.
The Mayor’s administration continues to prioritize public safety as the largest portion (34.7%) of the 2025 budget. The funding will be used for personnel, operating supplies, equipment repair and maintenance, training, and technology upgrades for the police and fire departments.
Additional allocations in the 2025 budget include roads and streets, planning and zoning, aviation, parks and recreation, and multiple other government functions.
City staff will also use the allocated dollars to support roadway repairs and maintenance, and ongoing projects aimed at enhancing economic development. The 2025 budget also includes new staff and equipment in some departments to support the city’s growth.
