2018 Participatory Budgeting - Voting Open

PBNYC - Voting Now Open

Though not a lot on the ballot for our neighborhood this year, the South Brooklyn Children’s Garden is on the ballot for funding Solar Panels for the garden and PS 146 (along with 2 other schools) is also looking for funds for a coordinator in order to accomplish their Outreach Plan for Elementary School Diversity. 

Nonetheless, there are plenty of other worthy projects on the list this year. Check out what is on the ballot here. 

Voting is open to anyone 11 years of age and older even if they haven't registered, as long as they live in District 39 and they made it very easy to Vote Online, as well as, giving locations to vote in person. 

Voting Ends Sunday.
