The Blaine County Board takes input on how to spend levy funds that we helped pass!
Everyone seems to agree that the extraordinary natural environment is one of the biggest reasons we all live in the Wood River Valley. Now a move is on to identify specific characteristics of the natural beauty that surrounds us, and form partnerships to protect it.
The Land, Water and Wildlife Levy advisory board kicked off a series of workshops Wednesday in Hailey to gather criteria for spending $3.45 million for conservation efforts in Blaine County.
The money was raised from property taxes over the last two years after county voters approved a temporary levy to pay for environmental conservation.
