The Government Finance Officers Association has a Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program (Budget Awards Program) that was established to encourage and assist state and local governments to prepare high quality budget documents that reflect both the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA’s best practices on budgeting and to recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal.
New England awardees for the budget years (Fiscal Years) beginning during the period of January 1 through December 31, 2012, include the Cities/Towns of Avon, Bridgeport, Bristol, Cheshire, Colchester, Danbury, Glastonbury, Groton, Hartford, Manchester, Mansfield, Norwalk, Norwich, Plainville, Tolland, and Woodbridge, CT; Freeport, ME; Barnstable, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Concord, Natick, Newburyport, North Andover, Northborough, Salem, Springfield, and Swampscott, MA; Portsmouth, NH; and Newport, RI. In addition, the Capitol Region Council of Governments in Connecticut; Portland Water District in Maine; the Boston Water and Sewer Commission, the Needham Public Schools, and the Springfield Public Schools in Massachusetts (as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts itself); and Narragansett Bay Commission, Rhode Island, were similarly honored.
