The Harnett County Board of Commissioners discussed the recommended 2026–2027 budget during its May 18 meeting and voted to schedule an additional public hearing on June 15, 2026 to gather further public input.
The finance officer delivered a quarterly financial update earlier in the meeting. Board members then discussed the recommended budget for 2026–2027; the recap records the decision to add another budget public hearing but does not provide transcript excerpts of the debate or budget line-item details.
During the budget public hearing held at the May 18 meeting five individuals provided remarks; the recap does not summarize the content of those remarks. The board also approved budget amendments during the county manager’s report, as recorded in the meeting recap.
The newly scheduled June 15 public hearing provides an additional opportunity for residents to weigh in on the recommended budget prior to final adoption. The full meeting recording and any posted budget documents are available at www.harnett.org/boc.
