To the Editor:
On behalf of the Land Bank Commission I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers who have helped to make this a year of accomplishment for the San Juan County Land Bank. With reduced revenues from excise taxes levied on the purchase of real estate in the County, this year the Land Bank has taken on several projects to open existing preserves to the public utilizing volunteer labor. The total hours contributed has added up to the equivalent of one full-time employee. These dedicated people, too numerous to mention by name, have been instrumental in opening up lands for the enjoyment of those who own them…the citizens of San Juan County.
Contact the Land Bank if you would like to join in a work project and be sure to take the opportunity to enjoy one of the new hiking trails soon.
Sincerely,
Nancy H. Jones
Land Bank Commissioner
