OUR STAFF OUT & ABOUT

A proposed local conservation fund 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, 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.
