Welcome to Chester County’s Future-Focused Budgeting Hub! In 2026, Chester County is taking bold strides toward smarter governance with its Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) process—an innovative approach that aligns every dollar with what matters most to our community. Rooted in transparency, performance, and strategic planning, PBB empowers residents and leaders alike to shape a budget that reflects shared values, from public safety and health to economic vitality and environmental stewardship. This isn’t just budgeting—it’s a blueprint for a thriving Chester County, built on purpose, data, and results.
What Is Priority Based Budgeting (PBB)?
Priority Based Budgeting is a strategic decision-making framework that helps local governments allocate resources based on community values, needs, and outcomes. Instead of simply adjusting last year’s budget, PBB starts by asking: What do we want to achieve? and How can we best use our resources to get there?
