Erin Deady, who helped bring PACE to Florida, talks about how it's working in Florida, the challenges, and why she thinks 2017 will be the "Year of PACE."

It has been lauded as a way of creating a bottom-up conversation that illuminates a community’s needs, making local leaders more responsive, and expanding civic engagement. We talk with Jennifer Godzeno, Deputy Director at the Participatory Budgeting Project, about the benefits, process and future of PB.
