Through participatory budgeting, you can help decide how to spend public funds on community improvements to parks, schools, libraries, streets, and more. 


Winning Projects

Volunteer budget delegates from across the district spent last winter reviewing ideas proposed at our neighborhood assemblies. They conducted site visits, consulted with City agencies, and developed those ideas into project proposals for the Participatory Budgeting ballot. Community members voted for their top projects in April, and the winning projects will be funded in the FY2016 budget.

Total Amount Pledged to be Funded$1,245,000
Public School District-wide Technology Upgrades$245,000
Dog Run in Astoria$500,000 
I.S. 126 Playground$500,000
