Proposal Development

Help shape proposals for the PB ballot! 

In partnership with local community organizations, the Office of Participatory Budgeting will host five in-person Proposal Development Forums in October and November of 2025. The objective of these forums is for residents to review and prioritize the ideas collected over the summer, and to draft proposals for PB Voting in January 2026.

Join one of the forums in October to review and prioritize project ideas for the PB Ballot!

NOTE: Because of limited space, and to allow others to participate, please register for one Proposal Development Forum only.
