How would you improve your neighborhood?
That’s how leaders of the RVA People’s Budget have been starting conversations. $3 million of the city’s budget next year will be determined by Richmonders.
The community-led initiative has hosted town halls and appeared at public events to spread the word. Residents will develop ideas and later vote on projects to be included in the fiscal year 2026 budget.
Proposals will be developed in November, then voted on in April. Richmond residents 14 years and up can vote.
Want to get involved? The process will officially kick off at a launch event on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 1 p.m. at Abner Clay Park.
