QUEENS, NY – The Queens Borough Board, chaired by Borough President Donovan Richards Jr., will hold a public hearing on the Mayor’s Fiscal Year 2025 Preliminary Expense and Capital Budget over a two-day period on Monday, January 29 and Tuesday, January 30.

The hearing will be held in Room 200 on the second floor of Queens Borough Hall. Each day’s testimony will begin at 10 a.m. and continue until all those who have registered to speak that day have testified.

A livestream of the hearing will be viewable at www.queeensbp.org.

The hearing will obtain the testimony of Queens Community Boards, community stakeholders, and members of the public regarding the proposals contained in the Mayor’s FY25 Preliminary Budget. This input will be used to develop the Borough Board’s budget priorities in FY25.

Representatives from local organizations will present requests for City funding during the hearing. Members of the public are also able to testify.

Public registration for speaking slots has already closed, but any member of the public who has not already registered for a speaking slot will be able to testify on a walk-in basis on either January 29 or January 30. Walk-ins will be asked to speak on a first-come, first served basis once all the registered speakers for the day have testified.

For anyone unable to attend the hearing, written testimony will be accepted via email at [email protected]. Those submitting written testimony only should do so as soon as possible to ensure their testimony is reviewed by the Borough Board.
