Tonight, Wed., Oct. 3, residents will come together to tell Councilman Lander (D-Park Slope) how to spend another $1 million of City funds on projects in their neighborhood. Last year, residents came together, brainstormed, voted and now those projects are being started.

Next spring, the votes will be counted and the winning projects will be announced. The process, called “Participatory Budgeting,” has allowed New Yorkers their first opportunity to vote on how some of their tax dollars are spent.
