The 2026 People’s Budget Is Now Official — and Aurora Moves Forward

With the statutory period concluded, the 2026 People’s Budget is now officially adopted — marking an important moment for our community. At 2.2%, this budget delivers exactly what it set out to: responsible, stable, forward-looking, and structured to protect Aurora’s long-term success.

From day one, my priority through this budget process has been clear: to put forward a budget that truly belongs to people of Aurora. A budget focused on: protecting taxpayers, strengthening our financial position, investing in what matters, leading with transparency and accountability

And this budget delivers on all of it.

This is a budget shaped by residents, supported by staff, and guided by strong, steady leadership. It safeguards our reserves, maintains essential infrastructure funding, supports our community partners, and rejects short-term gimmicks that would have harmed our Town down the road.

Most importantly, it reflects what Aurora expects and deserves: A Mayor who will always stand up for responsible budgeting, long-term planning, and decisions that put people first.

I want to thank every resident who engaged in this process — your feedback, your questions, and your advocacy helped shape a budget that truly represents our community’s priorities and values.

Aurora is strong, it is growing, and it is well-positioned for the future. And as your Mayor, I will continue to work every day to keep our Town moving forward with vision, responsibility, and leadership that gets things done.

We are building an Aurora that works — not just for today, but for the generations to come.

Let’s keep moving forward.
Let’s keep leading with purpose.
And let’s keep building a community we are all proud to call home.
