Moffett County officials have unveiled the proposed budget for 2025, totaling approximately $144.2 million, marking a significant increase of $14 million, or 11.49%, from the previous year's budget of $129.1 million. The budget is primarily supported by revenue estimates and anticipated fund balances.

A substantial portion of the budget is allocated to the Memorial Hospital, which accounts for $88.7 million. Discussions regarding the hospital's budget expenses are ongoing. Excluding the hospital, the remaining budget for Moffett County stands at $55.5 million, reflecting an increase of $3 million, or 6.3%, compared to the 2024 budget. This rise is largely attributed to the expenditure of grant funds aimed at various community projects.

Additionally, the county's personnel budget is set to increase, as it has been structured to reflect a fully staffed scenario. This decision follows a salary survey conducted in 2022, which resulted in an 8.5% salary increase for county employees. The current consumer price index stands at 2.9%, indicating ongoing considerations for cost-of-living adjustments in future budgeting.
