Writer's picture: DTC LeadershipDTC Leadership

The budget process is underway in North Haven, and now is the time to make your voice heard! Decisions made in the coming months will impact our schools, public services, and community investments. If we want a budget that reflects our priorities, we must show up, speak out, and ensure our voices are part of the conversation.

Key Ways to Get Involved


1. Email the Board of Finance

The Board of Finance is responsible for reviewing and approving the town’s budget. You can email them at BoardofFinance@northhaven-ct.gov to share your thoughts on what’s important to you.


2. Attend Budget Meetings - Add them to your calendar now


Public meetings are a great opportunity to hear discussions firsthand and show your support for a strong, community-centered budget. Mark your calendar for these important dates:

📅 February 19 – Board of Finance Meeting (Town Hall)

📅 March 19 – Board of Finance Meeting (Town Hall)

📅 April 7 – Budget Public Hearing (High School Auditorium)

📅 April 16 – Board of Finance Meeting (Town Hall)

📅 May 12 – Annual Town Meeting (High School Auditorium)

Why Your Participation Matters


Each year, critical budget decisions are made that affect our schools, roads, emergency services, and town resources. The Board of Finance frequently makes cuts to initial proposals—so it's essential that we let them know what we value.


By emailing them early in the process and attending public meetings, we can help shape a budget that truly supports our town’s needs.
