~ Tacoma's District 2 residents are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to decide how to allocate $1 million towards community enhancement and investment in public infrastructure. The voting period for District 2 community members is now open and will continue until September 20, 2024.
The three proposals that have been put forth by the community will be put to a vote, with the winning project set to begin implementation this fall. These proposals include the design and construction of a covered skate park with public art in downtown Tacoma, funding for youth programming at the Tacoma Public Library's main location, and upgrades to the City of Tacoma's emergency shelter site on Puyallup Avenue.
Mayor Victoria Woodards expressed her support for participatory budgeting, stating that it empowers residents to have a direct say in how local funds are spent. She believes that this process ensures that projects are truly reflective of the needs and desires of the community.

District 2 Council Member Sarah Rumbaugh also praised the participatory budgeting process, calling it a "heartwarming experience." She noted that residents from all walks of life came together to imagine how this investment could improve their community. Rumbaugh was particularly moved by the involvement of young people in the process and believes that their voices are evident in the chosen proposals. She sees this growing passion for civic engagement as a win for the city and looks forward to continuing to connect individual residents with local government through participatory budgeting.
Following District 2's successful participatory budgeting process, District 3 will soon embark on its own journey towards allocating funds for community projects.
