Brannan reveals the fine print of city budget
The new $92.8 billion city budget approved by the City Council on June 19 includes important items that will help Southwest Brooklyn residents at the grassroots level, according to Councilmember Justin Brannan, who said he worked hard to ensure that schools, parks and nonprofit social service groups in his district got their fair share of funding.
“Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach and Bensonhurst did very well in this budget,” Brannan told the Home Reporter in an email. “We were able to secure major investments in our public schools, libraries, playgrounds and parks. We’ve doubled down on all the great things that make our district so incredibly special and unique.”
