Do you want to see how your tax dollars are spent? Are you interested in learning about major economic development deals, infrastructure investments and new programs and initiatives that aim to improve the quality of life in The American Dream City? If so, we invite you to take a few moments to review the City of Arlington's FY24 Popular Annual Financial Report. It's our version of a corporate annual report, condensed to a few pages of financial information and interesting stories about public and private investment, valuable programs and services happening here in Arlington. In addition to Parks & Recreation’s 100th anniversary celebration and the exciting opening of Arlington’s new Convention Center, you'll find dozens of success stories about the City’s continued work to Champion Great Neighborhoods, Enhance Regional Mobility, Leverage Technology, Invest in Our Economy, Build Unity and Support Youth and Families. These includes investments in our streets, sidewalks and parks, which includes the new ability-inclusive playground at Meadowbrook Park and the completion of the voter-approved ACTIV recreation center for patrons 50 and older, and much more. You can also learn more about the continued success of the citywide Via rideshare and Arlington RAPID self-driving vehicle public transportation programs, the citywide transition to trash carts, a new Ask Arlington app, and some of the many state and national honors the City received for its ongoing work to ensure Arlington is a great city to live, learn, work and play. The Popular Annual Financial Report is a citizen-friendly financial report that uses narrative, photos and graphics to explain the information found in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Both are published at the same time each year. View the Fiscal Year 2024 Popular Annual Financial Report.
