Voting begins for participatory budgeting

Councilman Costa Constantinides cast his ballot for this year’s participatory budgeting.

Councilman Costa Constantinides kicked off participatory budgeting’s vote week by casting a ballot of his favorite projects in District 22.

This year, Councilman Constantinides allocated $1.5 million for the top projects. Residents can vote for their top five projects from now until April 3.

“Our neighborhood has already taken a strong interest in the civic process and we are excited to see even more residents engaged during voting week,” he said. “This volunteer-driven process is at its strongest when the community gets out and votes for their favorite projects.”
