Ulrich Announces 2014 Participatory Budgeting Results
Queens, NY – Councilmember Eric A. Ulrich (R-Queens) today announced the results of the latest round of participatory budgeting in Council District 32.
This year, over $2 million dollars in capital projects will be funded by Councilmember Ulrich based on the results of the public voting in Community Board 9 and 14. This year was the first year that Community Board 9 participated in the project. Differing from other council districts, the Community Board 14 and 9 portions of Councilman Ulrich’s district ran independent projects to decide how to spend $1 million each. Nearly a thousand residents voted this year.
Councilmember Ulrich said “I am deeply grateful to everyone that contributed to the participatory budget process this year. My constituents have proven that they want a say in how their tax dollars are spent. I look forward to bringing the process back next year and working with my constituent’s to expand their voice in the budget process.”
