(Greenfield, MA) — Greenfield’s fiscal 2022 budget process is heading down the home stretch. The City Council Ways and Means Committee will open final deliberations on next year’s budget this coming Wednesday. The $54-point-5 million dollar budget put forth by Mayor Roxann Wedegartner represents a 1-point-1 percent increase over the current year. Once the committee makes its recommendations, the budget will go to the full council for a final vote later this month.
