FINANCE / TAX DIGEST SOURCE

Georgia DOR digest report index

SOURCE SEED

This is a report-index and connector-shape seed. It does not yet extract Burke County millage, digest values, or city tax facts into KPI cards. Use this as a state report bridge for finance drilldowns; city budget/adopted-rate documents still need local official records.

CONNECTOR ACTION QUEUE

Highest-trust next moves

City documentsLow

Review top city/county document links and tag policy topics

Turns the active public-link index into source-labeled Council brief ingredients without over-claiming document contents.

Manually parse a small selected set of agendas/minutes/check registers into topic tags and citation cards.
Local financeLow

Review Waynesboro budget and financial-report PDFs from the CVIOG portal

Gives finance and Council modules a public, city-specific document spine before any budget, audit, fund-balance, or revenue claim is promoted.

Open FY2026/FY2025/FY2024 budget reports and FY2024 financial report, extract only title/date/page-cited fields first, then reconcile against agendas and DOR rows.
Regional developmentMedium

Expand DCA DRI seed into a Burke / Waynesboro review watchlist

Adds real public development-review records to the economic-development pipeline without relying on rumors or private deal chatter.

Build a cached low-volume parser for public DRI submissions and link only source pages / summaries; keep the project pipeline distinct from official status.
Labor / workforceLow

Promote BLS LAUS seed into a monthly county workforce connector

Replaces vague workforce placeholders with source-labeled Burke County unemployment and labor-force context for economic-development briefs.

Add a tiny refresh script for LAUCN13033 series, cache latest non-preliminary rows with revision flags, and keep labels county-only unless a city series is confirmed.
Talent / workforceLow

Cross-check ACS attainment and employment-status context against education/workforce sources

Adds city-level talent and labor-force survey context without inventing employer demand, school outcomes, or monthly unemployment.

Propagate MOE for derived attainment percentages, compare ACS employment-status rates to BLS county LAUS, and pair with GaDOE/CTAE aggregate source routes before Council workforce recommendations.
Jobs / commutingMedium

Aggregate Census LEHD/LODES block files into city-safe workforce counts

Adds a public route for jobs located in Waynesboro, resident-worker context, and commute-flow questions without inventing employer or license data.

Download the Georgia block crosswalk, filter blocks to place GEOID 1380984, then aggregate WAC/RAC/OD rows into disclosure-safe city and county summary cards.
Jobs / commutingLow

Reconcile ACS journey-to-work estimates with LEHD and GDOT corridor evidence

Gives the economic lane a city-level commute-mode and travel-time context without pretending to know live traffic, employers, or downtown foot traffic.

Keep the ACS commute seed visible with MOE, then cross-check against LEHD place aggregation and permitted GDOT TADA station exports before producing corridor recommendations.
Mobility accessLow

Reconcile ACS vehicle availability with service-location and transportation evidence

Adds city/county/state zero-vehicle household context and owner/renter tenure splits without inventing transit ridership, hardship, or service-demand claims.

Propagate derived MOE for combined zero-vehicle shares, pair with commute tables, LEHD/LODES, GDOT, nonprofit/transit routes, school transportation sources, and service-location maps before Council recommendations.

Showing the top 8 connector moves from 40 tracked source tasks. Keep this queue tight so the page stays operational instead of becoming a full backlog.
