Picozzi for Mayor?Show Warwick the math.

What did Warwick budget for Greenwood Credit Union City Hall Plaza—and what do the records actually show? Follow the Apponaug Rink figures, inspect the sources, and ask for the missing answers.

The documented starting point

A projected gap. A new break-even request. Questions still open.

The City’s proposed FY2027 budget contains these historical FY2026 projections. They are not final results.

$635,503

Projected FY2026 expenses

Total departmental spending, including $61,795 in miscellaneous capital expenditure.

$150,000

Projected FY2026 revenue

The fiscal-year estimate in the proposal’s revenue schedule.

$485,503

Projected departmental gap

Expenses minus revenue. Excluding that capital line gives $423,708.

Source: proposed FY2027 budget, printed pages 39 and 49. Figures verified against the PDF October 9, 2026. Final FY2026 results and final adopted FY2027 figures have not been verified.

The next question: The same proposal requests $671,511 in FY2027 revenue and $671,511 in expenses. What attendance, prices, rentals, and sponsorship assumptions support that exact match?
