Last week, the Local Government Commission approved the City of Goldsboro’s $6.7 million financing package.
This money will pay for much-needed vehicle and equipment upgrades.
This is a significant victory for the city and a testament to the progress the City has made in the last two and a half years.
“The State Auditor told us that we had given him the best answer regarding finances he has heard in his sixty days on the job,” Interim City Manager Matt Livingston said. “He praised Goldsboro for the tremendous strides we have made in front of dozens of other professional staff, other communities, and whomever else was on the webinar. Comments like this validate the hard work and sacrifices of many in the city, particularly those in Finance. It really has been a team effort with many sacrifices having been made.”
