An estimate

Lordstown didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $761,000; payments to other governments $1.1 million. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $9 million.
About “Other”.46% of Lordstown’s day-to-day spending ($3.1 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
