The 2015-16 Asheville budget is available for exploration on navigation tool designed to enable open public access.
From the “about” section of the website:
“The purpose of this site is to help support the public conversation in Asheville about what our priorities are as a community and how we fund efforts to achieve those priorities.
This site is built on a free, open-source platform developed by DemocracyApps, a local civic tech startup.
The site is entirely a volunteer effort. We would like to acknowledge the active support and help of volunteers from Code for Asheville and the Asheville Coders League. A tip of the hat to Involution Studios for the amazing Show Me The Money visualization. We would also like to thank the staff of the City of Asheville for their ongoing cooperation and support.”
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
