“The budget document is a once a year thing – it’s not something that people outside the organization would look at throughout the year. Aside from the people that are very engaged with the budgeting process, the budget book is such a foreign thing to the average resident. Graphs, charts, and information they can explore online is much more relatable in OpenBook.”

Will Payne, Management Analyst, City of Largo
