Public Input Welcome at Upcoming Columbia Association Budget Forum

Members of the public are invited to attend a pre-budget input forum for Columbia Association’s (CA) draft budgets for the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years. The forum will be held on Thursday, Aug. 29, at 7:30 p.m. at CA Headquarters, which is located at 10221 Wincopin Circle in Downtown Columbia.

The forum is hosted by the CA Board of Directors’ Planning and Strategy Committee. Community stakeholders, including villages, advisory committees and residents, will have an opportunity to provide input to the draft budgets.
