Lake County forest preserves to pursue first referendum since 2008 lcfpd lakecountyil visitlakecounty
Lake County Forest Preserve District officials are planning to place a referendum question for more funds on the November 2024 ballot.
It would be the district's first referendum since 2008. The process to get a question on the ballot officially is underway with the board's unanimous approval of its annual budget policy and strategic action plan Wednesday. A referendum would raise funds for land preservation and improve access and restoration initiatives. Officials plan to educate the public on the effects on district programs and taxpayers.
About 70% of the money was earmarked for land acquisition, allowing the district to add more than 4,000 acres -- nearly twice as much as expected as prices fell during the Great Recession. The remainder was spent on habitat, trail or preserve projects.
