Proposal Development

At Proposal Development Forums, residents come together to review, prioritize, and assess the feasibility, equity, and impact of the ideas submitted over the summer. Once the ideas are prioritized, forum participants draft final proposals with guidance from City staff.

Forums offer a collaborative environment where Boston neighbors work together to draft project proposals before going on the ballot in January 2027.
