Ninomiya revises fiscal projection, postpones some projects

Ninomiya Town released a revised fiscal forecast for fiscal years 2026–2035 at a regular press briefing on August 24, citing recent high inflation and Middle East developments as reasons for updating the plan made in 2024. The update reduces revenue and tightens expenditure assumptions, and the town said it will postpone portions of the new town hall construction project and other items to maintain fiscal balance. Officials emphasized they will continue to monitor economic conditions and adjust the plan as needed while aiming to sustain essential services.
