At the May 18 meeting, the Queen Creek Town Council approved a budget of $730.2 million for the 2022/23 fiscal year, which begins on July 1, 2022. The approved budget continues to prioritize infrastructure, with 73% of the budget dedicated to transportation, water and wastewater, parks and trails, and other infrastructure projects.

“Passing a balanced budget is one of the most important responsibilities we have as a Council,” stated Queen Creek Vice Mayor Jeff Brown. “The fiscal year 2022/23 budget continues to prioritize infrastructure, particularly related to transportation. It also includes funding for the much-anticipated parks and recreation amenities. These investments will enhance the quality of life that we enjoy here in Queen Creek and the budget as a whole supports our five-year Corporate Strategic Plan.”

Of the infrastructure investments, the top priority continues to be transportation including both new and widened roads. Nearly 25% of the total budget, or $180.6 million, is slated for transportation, continuing the Town’s commitment to roadway improvements. More than half of that $180.6 million is for transportation projects that are already underway and will continue into the next fiscal year. The infrastructure budget also contains funding for the new Frontier Family Park (formerly referred to as the East Park site, located on Signal Butte Road north of Queen Creek Road) and for phase II of Mansel Carter Oasis Park. Frontier Family Park will include a recreation / aquatic center. Funding is also included for the extension of the Queen Creek Wash Trail from Crismon to Rittenhouse.
