Participatory Budgeting of Albuquerque

On Tuesday, District 6 members will come together to celebrate a new grower’s market in the International District as well as host a community workshop to hear ideas about spending district funds next year.

What if citizens could make suggestions to government officials on how to spend money? That’s the idea behind a new pilot project. District 6 City Councilor Nichole Rogers is working with Participatory Budgeting of Albuquerque to host a session Tuesday night to hear from the community about spending state capital outlay dollars.
