It is a plan for how public funds will be used to provide services, maintain infrastructure, meet required obligations, and prepare for future needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some funds may be restricted for specific purposes. For example, utility funds, grant funds, or dedicated tax funds may only be used for certain services or projects. Because of this, money available in one fund may not always be available for general village expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions About the Budget?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Residents with questions about the village budget, financial documents, or public records may <a href=\"https:\/\/demon.10t.co\/vopp\/contact-the-village\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"134\">contact the Village Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Village Office<\/strong><br>104 Mellott Street<br>Powhatan Point OH 43942<br>Phone: 740-795-4201<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Village of Powhatan Point is committed to responsible financial management and transparency in how public funds are received, budgeted, and used.
