By Brittany Anderson

BUDA — With inflation, labor shortages and a potential looming recession, leaders within the city of Buda have worked hard to create a budget that will address resident needs, such as maintaining a low tax rate while funding much-needed projects to improve the city and keep up with growth. 

The Buda City Council received a presentation on the proposed fiscal year 2023 city budget during a special meeting on Aug. 9. City Manager Micah Grau said that this budget is the largest in Buda history.
