Yuma County is in a good position going into fiscal year 2021/2022, according to an economic outlook presented by Budget Director Tony Struck.
The Board of Supervisors met in a special work session retreat on Tuesday to kick off planning for the upcoming fiscal year, which starts in July.
Again, the numbers had officials shaking their heads. In spite of a pandemic, the county did very well in 2020. Consumer spending in the categories that generate the most sales tax revenues increased during the pandemic. Among the best performing categories were goods, such as autos and appliances, and non-durable goods, such as paper and food products.
