Council Member David Greenfield’s office has released the final vote counts for the 44th District in this year’s participatory budgeting (PB) process.

Over 2,300 people in Greenfield’s district — which spans Borough Park, Midwood and Bensonhurst — voted in the PB process in late March and early April, deciding how to allocate $1.2 million of public money.

According to Greenfield’s office, the winning projects were the top four vote-getters from a ballot containing 13 projects and initiatives suggested by residents. Those projects will be funded in the upcoming 2016-17 City budget, which goes into effect on July 1st.

Council Member Greenfield said his office will also be securing $100,000 for NYPD security cameras in Bensonurst, which was the first runner-up project in the PB vote.
