Discover the 28 new winners of the Tarn participatory budget

It brings a good collective momentum. Launched in 2021, the Department’s Participatory Budget unveiled the winners of its second edition on Monday evening. During the presentation of the projects, 159 were presented and 89 were selected throughout the Tarn, in all the cantons and in all categories. These selected projects were put on the ballot for just over a month.

And this year, the population of the Tarn has mobilized strongly as 37,770 votes were cast against 22,000 in the previous edition. 28 projects were therefore designated: one project per canton excluding the cantons of Albi and those of Castres (2 winning projects in the municipality of Albi and 2 in Castres, another 2 in all cantons of Albi 2,3 and 4 and 1 other in cantons Castres 2 and 3), two departmental winners and 3 projects for young people aged 16 to 25.

The principle remains the same as last year, with a total budget of one million euros (or 40,000 euros per canton), of which 100,000 euros this year will be dedicated to youth projects. And unlike last year, each association was only able to submit one project.

“It is a real success, said the president of the Departmental Council Christophe Ramond and Eva Géraud, vice-president in charge of Citizenship. We see that the participatory budget has its place to imagine tomorrow’s Tarn. We are delighted with the involvement of the people of the Tarn, the aim is to build a dynamic Tarn that is suitable for everyone’s needs. »
