STORY COUNTY WATER AND LAND LEGECY BOND

INVESTING IN THE OUTDOORS 

Thank you Story County for supporting the November 2024 Water & Land Legacy Bond referendum to enhance access to outdoor recreation, education and conservation.  

The Story County Conservation bond investments will include: protecting our water, waterways, and land that we depend upon; improve and expand recreational trails, parks, and habitat; and, make other park improvements needed in a growing county with growing demand for outdoor opportunities. 

Funds from the bond referendum will allow Story County Conservation access to other funds, including project grants. It also allows Story County Conservation the ability to work towards its major goals well into the future. 

Support for the Water & Land Legacy Bond created a path forward to a future in Story County where we will want to live, work and enjoy outdoor opportunities. In the process, we will also be a more prosperous community and have a healthier enviroment. It is also an investment in ourselves- spending time with nature is good for our nature!

Investing in outdoor recreation, education and conservation contributes millions annually to Iowa's economy which creates jobs that enrich our lives, enhances our health and builds community.
