Play Your Part:
Your Money,

The People's Money is New York City's annual citywide Participatory Budgeting (PB) initiative where community members decide how to spend part of the city's budget. Every year New Yorkers vote to decide what projects to implement in their communities.

We invite you to submit your ideas for what you would like to see implemented in your borough! Idea Generation is open from October 10 to November 22, 2024..
