From Mayor Randall Woodfin:
The city of Birmingham finds itself in a very similar situation as cities across the state and our nation. The National League of Cities estimates the economic impact of the pandemic has created a $360 billion shortfall for cities through 2022. Our economic outlook is directly connected to a crisis that currently has no defined end. The city faces a $63-million shortfall in business tax revenue. While other cities have cut into basic services that will not be an option in Birmingham.
The residents of our city expect a commitment to basic services. We must not overlook that expectation nor can we back away from our duty. Please review the information on this page and receive updates through the city’s social media channels.
Sincerely,
Mayor Randall L. Woodfin
