Start to plan your vote for District 38 participatory budgeting
There is still time to join neighbors in helping Councilmember Carlos Menchaca decide how to spend $2 million.
First up is the Project Expo from 12 to 3 p.m. this Saturday, March 15, to be held at the Sunset Park Recreation Center, located at 43rd Street and Seventh Avenue. Residents and business owners can walk around the tables and read colorful poster boards—like at a science fair—that describe each of the 46 proposals that neighbors have nominated during previous brainstorming sessions.
These proposals were ideas developed as part of the popular participatory budgeting (PBNYC) process, which had been implemented in other parts of Brooklyn and New York before coming to Menchaca’s district, Council District 38.
