What Is Participatory Budgeting?<\/h2>\n

Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process where community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. District 34 and community members suggested over 85 ideas<\/strong> in 2026 (FY27) to improve the district and we narrowed it down to 11 projects<\/strong> to vote on to be funded in the upcoming City Council budget.<\/p>\n
