Vote YES in Jasper County and support local conservation

CLEAN WATER, SAFE ROADS

A proposed Special Sales and Use Tax on the ballot in November has the potential to protect the environment and quality of life for Jasper County residents–helping to manage rapid growth, mitigate flooding, safeguard wildlife, improve infrastructure and more. Voting yes supports $94 million of funding to establish Jasper County’s first local conservation fund to protect water quality and open land.

BALANCE RAPID GROWTH

By protecting more land, we can make sure we are building in the right places as the county continues to grow. By protecting wetlands and woodlands along the Savannah River and in the Port Royal Sound watersheds, risks from flooding are also reduced.

BUILD ON PAST SUCCESS

There is a huge opportunity in Jasper County to connect the nationally significant protected areas of the ACE Basin and the Savannah River. Recent conservation easement successes, like what partners have done to protect the 4,400-acre Gregorie Neck property and 12,000 Slater Buckfield assemblage, have laid the foundation for connecting these iconic landscapes.

PROTECT LAND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Jasper County’s natural resources are the backbone of its economy. Preserving and protecting land will help the region become more efficient, safe and prosperous.
