Participatory budgeting comes to Sunset Park, Red Hook
Hey, residents of Sunset Park and Red Hook, think you can do a better job of spending taxpayer money than the city does? Here’s your chance!
The city’s Participatory Budgeting program is coming to the 38th Council District, giving residents a chance to decide how $2 million in funds earmarked for neighborhood improvement projects should be spent. The district, represented by Councilwoman Sara Gonzalez, covers Sunset Park and Red Hook.
Starting this week, a series of public meetings will take place in both communities to give residents the chance to propose projects.
