Budget & Capital Information
Since 2022, the Town of Brewster has partnered with OpenGov to publish budget and capital information in a user-friendly, online format. This platform provides users with a dynamic, visual representation of Town finances to better understand where and how tax dollars are being spent. Residents can view budget details, reports, and charts by department. Each page includes current year accomplishments, goals for next year, and proposed budget changes. This platform enhances transparency and makes the budget development process more accessible for our residents.
FY27 Operating Budget:
The Town's interactive FY27 Proposed Operating Budget is now available. An overview of the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget was presented to the Select Board and the Finance Committee by the Budget Team at their joint meeting on Monday March 2, 2026.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) FY26-FY30:
The Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (FY2026-2030) was presented to the Select Board and Finance Committee on February 2, 2026. Brewster's Finance Team also provided an overview on the FY26-FY30 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award:
The Town of Brewster, Massachusetts has once again secured the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its Fiscal Year 2026 budget. This marks the third consecutive year Brewster has received this prestigious award - the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. Brewster previously received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for our FY25 budget and our FY24 budget.
GFOA award winning budgets meet nationally recognized guidelines and best practices for effective budget presentation. “This award reflects Brewster’s ongoing commitment to transparency with our residents. Our Finance Team and Department Heads understand the importance of communicating the Town’s financial and budget information in ways that are accessible and meaningful to help residents understand how their tax dollars support Town services. It is truly a team effort,” said Town Manager Peter Lombardi.
