Participatory Budgeting is a program in which district residents participate directly in the city budgeting process by deciding how to spend over $1,500,000 per district in city funds. These funds can go towards capital projects in our parks, schools, or other infrastructure — or wherever else the residents of your district decide. Below are some of the projects up for vote directly affecting our neighborhoods.

- Six new laptop carts for Dock Street School in DUMBO
