With the areaâs vaccination rollout underway, and city restaurants and venues loosening restrictions, a staff report to Lynchburg City Council on Tuesday showed a projected increase in city revenues for fiscal year 2022 of about $3.4 million more than originally proposed.
Revenues that have stayed low during the course of the pandemic, such as lodging and amusement taxes, are expected to see significant jumps in the fiscal year 2022 budget as area businesses and services continue âopening back up,â according to Chief Financial Officer Donna Witt.
Also contributing to the projected revenue increase is a 5% salary increase approved by the state for all state-funded city positions. This will affect city constitutional officers, as well as the human services department, and bring in additional funds from the state.
