5. Prioritizing Ballard Projects Proposed for Funding from the Annual
Neighborhood Projects Fund, Mary Hurley
Annually, the City of Seattle makes available approximately $1.3M to
fund small scale projects proposed by individuals and organizations.
Each of the 13 district councils is asked to identify the district’s
top five priority projects, which will be evaluated for cost and
feasibility by either the Parks Department or by Seattle Department of
Transportation.
This year, of the 190 proposals received city wide, 40 came from the
Ballard district. Ballard DC appointed a three-member review committee
to study the proposals from Ballard and recommend an order of priority.
