One Week Left to Vote for Participatory Budgeting

Participatory Budgeting Gives Residents Direct Say in How City Funds Are Spent

Voting Deadline is March 10th

Residents have just one week left to vote for projects that will be funded through the City’s Participatory Budgeting (PB) process.

PB is a democratic process that gives residents a direct say in how a portion of the City’s budget is spent. Residents submit project ideas, and then vote on which projects they want to see funded.

This year, the City has allocated $1 million for PB projects. Projects can be anything that benefits the community, such as new parks, improvements to existing facilities, or programs that address community needs.

To vote, residents can go to the City’s PB website or visit any City library. The deadline to vote is March 10th.

The winning projects will be announced in April, and construction will begin this summer.

PB is a great way for residents to get involved in their community and make a difference. By voting, residents can help decide how their tax dollars are spent and create a better future for their city.

Here are some tips for voting in the PB process:

• Read the project descriptions carefully and consider which projects would most benefit your community.
• Vote for projects that are feasible and have a clear plan for implementation.
• Consider the impact of the projects on different parts of the community.
• Vote for projects that you are passionate about and that you believe will make a positive difference in your community.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your vote counts and that the winning projects are those that will best serve your community.
