DuPage County’s FY 2025 budget proposed

Food insecurity funding, mental health and substance use investments, and additional public safety allocations are among some of the initiatives DuPage County Board chairwoman Deborah Conroy highlighted in her proposed fiscal year 2025 budget at a meeting Tuesday.

Conroy’s balanced budget proposal clocks in at $635.8 million and includes an anticipated property tax levy of $71 million. The document maintains funding for existing core services, Conroy indicated in her presentation, and taps into new construction without raising the property tax rate.

The DuPage County Board will hash over Conroy’s budget proposal in the coming months before acting on it in late November. Keep an eye on NCTV17’s website for a full story on the budget later this week.
