Voters approve conservation initiatives worth $7.3B

Thursday, November 6, 2008

Funding for voter-approved land conservation capped a record-breaking year on Tuesday, with voters demonstrating substantial support for open space ballot measures despite the current economic and fiscal crisis facing the nation, according to The Trust for Public Land. Voters backed 62 of the 87 (71 percent) conservation finance measures on ballots across America, generating a single-day record of $7.3 billion in new funding for parks and open space. A complete list of results from local and state balloting on conservation and parks is available at www.landvote.org.
