Land and Water Conservation Bond of 2007

Our Position: support
Bill Number: S1522=H990
Sponsor: Sen.
Legislative Session: 2007

The Land for Tomorrow Coalition supports the authorization of a $1 billion bond referendum for land and water conservation.  The bill is similar to one introduced in the previous legislative session.  This time more funds are directed to Farmland Preservation, with reductions to other trust funds.

Land for Tomorrow is a statewide partnership of conservationists, farmers, business leaders, local governments, health professionals, and community groups urging the General Assembly to provide $1 billion over five years to protect the state's land, water, and special places before they arelost forever.
