The City of Newburgh last week announced the launch of its new web-based, mobile-friendly Fiscal Transparency Center powered by ClearGov, a leading provider of budget cycle management software for local governments.

“Healthy Democracies are rooted in openness and inclusion, and we are eager to provide our residents with the information they need to more fully participate in the community conversation,” said City Manager Todd Venning in a prepared statement, released by Chief of Staff Michael Neppl.

The City of Newburgh’s Fiscal Transparency Center empowers citizens to see precisely how funds are generated and allocated, and better understand how the annual budget impacts the community programs and services they care about most. Visitors to the Fiscal Transparency Center can easily drill down to the line-item level, view comparative analyses of similar cities and subscribe to certain pages to receive automatic email updates as new information becomes available.

Mayor Torrance Harvey says the best way to learn more about the Fiscal Transparency Center and the City of Newburgh’s finances is to go online and explore. “We strongly encourage residents to visit our Fiscal Transparency Center and 2023 Digital Budget Book today to see their tax dollars at work.”
