COUNCIL MEMBER YDANIS RODRIGUEZ TO KICK OFF VOTE WEEK FOR PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING UPTOWN
CM Rodriguez will announce the great projects, voting locations and more on the first day of voting
New York, NY - On Saturday, March 25th at 11:30am at the Inwood Greenmarket, Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez will kick off the week of voting for community-driven projects eligible to receive up to $1 million dollars in funding this year. This is the third year of Participatory Budgeting in Washington Heights, Inwood and Marble Hill, which has already seen excellent projects receive funding, including new green gyms in parks and technology upgrades in school classrooms.
Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez will announce all of the projects on the ballots this year and where uptown residents can go to vote for their favorites.
Participatory Budgeting empowers communities to choose for themselves where to spend their hard-earned tax dollars. Using $1 million dollars from Council Member Rodriguez's annual discretionary capital budget, uptown residents curate the ballot and give their neighbors a range of options to choose from. This initiative, developed by the NYC Council, has put millions of dollars into communities at their own discretion, enhancing our city's democracy.
