WHAT'S THE "CLEAN WATERS & HEALTHY FORESTS" BALLOT QUESTION?
On November 5th, 2024, voters in our district will have the opportunity to make a critical decision about the future of New Mexico’s natural resources. The “Clean Waters & Healthy Forests” ballot measure, led by the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District, proposes a modest levy of up to 0.25 mills that will generate over $6 million annually to fund vital conservation projects.
The Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District is a local government agency dedicated to promoting the conservation, improvement, and responsible use of natural resources across both rural and urban lands. Established under New Mexico law, this district has a long history of protecting our water, soil, and forests to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our communities. By voting YES, you are supporting the District’s mission to safeguard these critical resources for current and future generations.
