Our Parks, Our Kids, Our Future. Information and Presentation on County Parks and Recreation Levy.

Jefferson County has a rich fabric of county-owned parks, campgrounds, sport facilities, community centers, and fair grounds. It also has for decades funded youth and adult recreation programs and 4-H. Funding for all these facilities and programs is now at risk. The County Commissioners placed a levy lid lift on the ballot for Aug. 4th to secure funding for these existing facilities and programs for 6 years. If the levy fails closures of facilities, parks and recreation staff layoffs, and the ending of programs will occur in 2007.

All In Jeff Co Parks and Rec is a community campaign supporting this important levy. The information session and presentation will cover why the levy is necessary, what it will fund, and what we lose if the levy fails.

Jefferson County is a great place to live. Let's keep it that way. We invite you to attend and learn about this important opportunity.
