How Will You Spend $10,000 in the Niagara District?
Join us in the Participatory Budgeting (PB) Niagara District process!
PB es una forma diferente de administrar el dinero público y de involucrar a las personas en el gobierno. Es un proceso democrático en el que los miembros de la comunidad deciden directamente cómo gastar parte de un presupuesto público.. Permite a los contribuyentes trabajar con el gobierno para tomar decisiones presupuestarias que afectan sus vidas.. Interested? Watch these videos to learn how the process works.
El año pasado, we ran a pilot program in Buffalo’s Masten District. Encima 300 los residentes salieron a 8 diferentes lugares de votación en el lapso de 6 days in various locations throughout the district to decide on how to spend a portion of the city’s budget directly on projects in their community. The winning projects included a farmer’s market, community kitchen upgrades and a healthy cooking campaign, new smart board and computer classes for seniors, lighting on local streets near MLK Park, a bus shelter, garbage cages, and a new bus shelter.
This year, our organization is partnering with Common Councilman David Rivera’s office to run a similar pilot project in the Niagara District. El mes pasado, nearly a dozen community projects were generated by residents in the district. These projects will go up for a community wide vote the week of June 25ª through July 1S t.

All Niagara District residents and Students age 14+ can Vote! Voters must bring proof of district residency (a utility bill, photo id, student id etc) to vote.
