This year, 29 Council districts will participate in the twelfth cycle. Vote week is scheduled for March 25 \u2013 April 2, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is always critical that we strengthen local civic participation and engagement,\u201d said <strong>Speaker Adrienne Adams<\/strong>. \u201cWith the return of the twelfth cycle of Participatory Budgeting, New Yorkers are empowered to have a voice on how city funding is allocated to directly improve their neighborhoods. As we begin the process of collecting ideas and crafting projects, I encourage all New Yorkers to get involved in Participatory Budgeting and share your input on community priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The twelfth cycle marks the Council\u2019s return to participatory budgeting as a legislative body <a>since<\/a> 2019. The Participatory Budgeting process was on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This cycle also marks the return for five Council Members who previously worked on Participatory Budgeting as staff members of the Council and the first time Council District 25 joins Participatory Budgeting.<\/p>\n<p>Participatory Budgeting gives communities the opportunity to engage in the capital budgeting process and encourages New Yorkers to share ideas and ultimately vote on which community projects receive capital dollars. All New Yorkers over the age of 11, regardless of citizenship and incarceration status, are eligible to vote on projects.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>COUNCIL DISTRICT<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>COUNCIL MEMBER<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>BOROUGH<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Christopher Marte<\/td>\n<td>Manhattan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>Erik Bottcher<\/td>\n<td>Manhattan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>Keith Powers<\/td>\n<td>Manhattan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>Julie Menin<\/td>\n<td>Manhattan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>Gale A.
