On June 12, 2018, Sumter County Council approved the third and final reading for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget Ordinance. This year’s budget proposal was balanced at $52,752,483 revenues and expenditures with “NO TAX INCREASE.”
Sumter County Government began the month of May with a plan of action for the budget season. The Fiscal Year Budget covers the time frame of July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019.
Spring is just around the corner and your County government is hitting full stride.
We are in the second year of the 2014 “Penny for Progress” Capital Penny Sales Tax Projects. Several of these projects have gone through the “design and engineering” phase and are “ready for the big stage”.
What an odd winter it has been this year in Sumter, South Carolina. First we received the lions’ share of snow, about seven inches in different parts of the County, while the upstate known for light snows received none. Next, we have already had, in Sumter County, sub 20o weather for days with highs only reading sub-freezing levels at 280. Not our typical winter weather in Sumter for sure. Global warming, is not here!
During this season of holiday spirit, I hope you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your family and friends. Wishing everyone in the Sumter community much happiness and good health.
On behalf of the dedicated County employees of Sumter County, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
