Here at WHA we are big fans of the Participatory Budgeting process, where the average citizen gets to give their input on how to spend a million dollars on projects in the neighborhood. The first step is where you get to suggest capital projects that you’re passionate about and think should be funded. After that, a ballot will be created; the final vote happens in the spring.
Next month you’ll have a chance to suggestion your ideas as well as learn more about the Participatory Budgeting process. To do so, attend a neighborhood assembly! They take place on four days in different locations. They are:
Thursday, September 14, 2017, 6pm
North Queensview Community Board Room 2
33-64 21st Street (side entrance) [map]
Monday, September 18, 2017, 7pm
Cretans Association
32-33 31st Street [map]
Wednesday, September 20, 2017, 7pm
Astoria Houses Community Center
4-05 Astoria Blvd [map]
Wednesday, September 27, 2017, 6pm
Bohemian Hall
29-19 24th Avenue [map]
If you can’t make any of these events for whatever reason, you can submit your ideas here (click the blue SUBMIT AN IDEA button). To volunteer during a neighborhood assembly, fill out this form. Volunteering consists of helping people sign-in and facilitating group brainstorming sessions.
Here are the previous cycle’s winners. We hope you can make one of these neighborhood assemblies and participate in the Participatory Budgeting process!
