Story County voters have a pivotal opportunity this upcoming election to ensure the long-term health and vitality of our natural environment. The Story County Water and Land Legacy Bond will appear on the ballot with a clear goal: to secure funding for critical conservation and recreational projects across the county. By voting yes, residents can support a $25 million bond initiative dedicated to enhancing water quality and habitat, enhancing river and stream buffers and improving parks and trails.

​

The bond language that will appear on the back side of your ballot is as follows:

“Shall the County of Story, State of Iowa, enter into one or more loan agreements and issue its general obligation bonds in an amount not exceeding $25,000,000 for the purpose of paying the costs, to that extent, of (i) improving and protecting the water quality of rivers, lakes, and streams and reduction in flooding; (ii) for acquisition and development of land for public parks and wildlife areas; and (iii) for construction and improvement of trails and conservation facilities or other recreation or conservation purposes, to be managed by the Story County Conservation Board, with full public disclosure of all expenditures?"
