Weprin to Host Participatory Budgeting Meeting Tonight

Attendees will be able to discuss how to spend $1 million of the city's budget.

Councilman Mark Weprin, D-Oakland Gardens, will host a participatory budgeting meeting for northeast Queens residents this evening.

The participatory budgeting process allows residents to come up with ways to spend $1 million of the city’s budget in their district.

Then, community members volunteer as budget delegates work in committees to turn the projects into proposals that are vetted by city agencies and then voted on during an election.
