The Budget Process

It is a privilege to support the great work organizations do throughout Brooklyn and across the city. I look forward to yet another engaging budget submission process where I'll have the opportunity to learn more about the people and groups that continually improve the lives of our city's residents. In order to ensure your proposals are given the consideration they deserve, it is important to follow all the steps and guidelines outlined by the City Council. I hope we can continue learning from and supporting one another.
