What to know about Osceola County's land conservation referendum on the November ballot
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – Twenty years ago, Osceola County voters agreed to use a portion of real estate taxes to fund a land conservation program.
Since then, with this program, the county has acquired over 3,300 acres of land to protect water resources and preserve wildlife habitats, according to the county website.
Areas such as Shingle Creek Regional Park and Lake Lizzie were acquired through this program, according to its website.
This referendum is back on the ballot this year for renewal. Here are the details.
