Fiscal Fluency Challenge Results
Fiscal Fluency Challenge Results
We're pleased to announce that the City of Arlington, Texas, (“the City” or “Arlington”) has won GFOA's Fiscal Fluency Challenge for their videos that explain the city’s budget.
Winner: City of Arlington
The City of Arlington created videos to make public finance easy to understand. They used themes like “Build, Unite, Create,” comparing budgeting to a Lego set, and “Budget Bites,” which was styled like a cooking show. Arlington’s approach serves as a model for other cities looking to improve their budget communications.
