During their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, June 6, members of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors were presented with highlights of the 2023-2024 Proposed Budget, which totals $2.59 billion.

As part of the process, the Board also voted to approve $2.6 million to a number of Non-County Organizations in the 2023-2024 Proposed Budget. This included $42,500 for Escalon Strong.

“It’s my pleasure to provide funding to Escalon Strong. They offer a diversity of programs and services that will help so many in Escalon and the surrounding communities,” said Robert Rickman, Chair of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors. “Supporting these organizations is a great way to help so many in San Joaquin County.”

Rickman, along with being the board chair, represents Escalon on the county panel, serving constituents in District 5.

A Final Budget hearing will be presented on June 20 and 21, 2023 prior to adoption of the spending plan.
