RED DEER COUNTY- The County has once again been named the recipient of the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for their 2019-2021 budget document.

It lays out all Capital and Operating expenditures for the County, and details how tax dollars are used to provide services for ratepayers.

The document contains both detailed and summary breakdowns of funding sources, policies, and highlights County finance over a multi-year timeline.

This marks the fourth consecutive year that Red Deer County has received the GFOA budget award.

The Association is based in Chicago, Illinois, and is the chief body for over 18,000 elected local, state, and provincial-level government finance officials.

The County has tremendous staff in place who are dedicated to ensuring ratepayers get a thorough and understandable look at our budget and budgeting process.”
