Riverside County Sets April Budget Workshop in Moreno Valley

Moreno Valley residents will soon have a direct opportunity to weigh in on how county dollars are spent — and what services should take priority in the year ahead.

County Budget Workshop Scheduled for April 21

Riverside County officials are hosting a series of community budget workshops across all five supervisorial districts this April. One of those meetings will take place April 21 in Moreno Valley, offering local residents a chance to hear from county leaders and share feedback.

The workshops are part of the county’s annual budget planning process. As officials prepare the upcoming fiscal year budget, they are inviting the public to learn more about current financial conditions, projected revenues, and ongoing spending pressures.

How County Decisions Affect Moreno Valley

County budget decisions shape many of the services Moreno Valley households rely on every day. That includes funding for public health programs, sheriff and fire services, road maintenance, homelessness response efforts, and a range of social services.

With continued growth across western Riverside County and rising costs tied to infrastructure and public safety, officials face difficult choices about where limited funds should go. Community workshops often bring those tradeoffs into focus, highlighting the balance between maintaining core services and investing in long-term improvements.

What to Expect at the Workshop

Attendees can expect a presentation outlining the county’s financial outlook, followed by time for public comment. Residents will be able to ask questions, share concerns, and suggest funding priorities that reflect neighborhood needs.

County leaders typically use input gathered during these sessions to help inform formal budget hearings later in the spring. While final decisions are made by the Board of Supervisors, early feedback can play a role in shaping the broader conversation.

For Moreno Valley residents, the April 21 workshop provides a timely opportunity to speak up — whether the focus is street improvements, expanded health programs, workforce development, public safety resources, or other community priorities.

Participation in the budget process is one of the more direct ways residents can influence how local tax dollars are allocated. With major spending decisions on the horizon, county officials are encouraging community members to take part and make their voices heard.
