Morristown awarded GFOA Distinguished Budget Award

The city of Morristown has been awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its Fiscal Year 2027 Budget by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). The award represents a significant achievement by the city, reflecting the commitment of the governing body and staff to meet the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive the budget award, the city had to satisfy GFOA guidelines for effective budget presentations. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity's budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device. Budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories, and in the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award. This is the 16th consecutive time  Morristown has received this award.
