Spa City Residents May Vote to Fund City Projects – Ballots Open Through Sunday

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Springs residents over the age of 18 are able to cast a ballot to fund city projects through Sunday, Dec. 11. 

Named “Participatory Budgeting,” the Participatory Budgeting process encourages local community members to participate in the City’s budget process by voting on how to spend a portion, 0.25%, of the City’s total budget - approximately $100,000. 

There are nine total projects on the ballot for potential funding. 

Project proposals were submitted by individuals and organizations from across the Saratoga Springs community. The Committee received a total of 20 submissions for cycle one with proposed projects ranging from smaller-scale community events to larger infrastructure projects throughout the City.
