Issue 2 will benefit parks, walking trails
LISBON — Columbiana County entities received more than $1 million worth of grants for park areas and walking trails from the Clean Ohio Fund over the past several years, with the entity benefitting the most from the fund urging its renewal. Approval of state Issue 2 will allow the state government to continue the $400 million bond program first approved by voters in 2000 as a means to conserve natural areas, preserve land and clean up contamination or pollution. A letter sent by Friends of the Park to supporters of the county Park District and Little Beaver Creek Greenway Trail asked for a yes vote on Issue 2, which will allow the state to issue bonds for the money. The letter said the issue will not raise taxes, but approval will continue a program which “...improves the quality of life for all Ohioans by preserving natural areas and farmland, protecting waterways and redeveloping urban areas to foster economic growth.
