Several department budgets, including Worcester Public Schools, economic development, human resources, diversity and inclusion, technology, auditing, retirement, and law, received committee approval. The larger citywide spending plan and proposed borrowing for capital projects were not advanced and remain held for further review. For residents, this means department-level funding moved forward, while the overall Fiscal Year 2027 budget and related borrowing still await additional committee action.
