    Budget

    Mayor Nadine Woodward's 2023 proposed budget, presented November 2, 2022, addresses a $37 million revenue loss from the pandemic while forgoing a 1% property tax increase for household financial relief. The budget prioritizes people-focused investments including increased shelter space, homelessness services, public safety, sanitation, garbage collection, and workforce retention in a competitive labor market. Sales tax revenue is projected to increase 5.9% overall in 2023, though gains are not expected to continue due to anticipated recession.

    The Idaho Workforce Development Council held a full-day meeting on April 5, 2018, in Meridian, where Vice Chair B.J. Swanson led discussions on Idaho's urban-rural labor market divide. A presentation highlighted that urban Idaho is experiencing economic growth while rural Idaho faces demographic challenges and a "tipping point," with rural workers dealing with counterintuitively high costs of living despite lower wages. Council members discussed workforce migration patterns, commuting trends, and the difficulty rural areas face in retaining younger workers, particularly millennials, due to economic pressures.
