  • I'm back with another update of what's happening here in Southern Utah!🗣️This time I'm at historic Vernon Worthen Park in downtown St. George. 👀🔥
    In this video i talk about the G.O. Bond that is on the ballot this fall in the St. George City election. I believe it is vital that it passes so we can keep bringing world class parks, trails, and facilities and ensure our quality of life remains top notch as we continue to grow. Please watch, share, and most importantly VOTE!!

    All the parks, trails and downtown are a big part of this city’s awesomeness.

    Absolutely, yes! St George wouldn't be what it is today without the trails, parks and recreation. As St George population grows, we will need more parks as well as maintenance and improvements for old parks. $2.66 a month is just a small cost to try to keep our community fun, beautiful and safe.

      It all depends on what was proposed in the 1990s and how much they accomplished with that budget. Did they accomplish all that was proposed or did they manage the money improperly accomplished a lot less than is should have?

    I will be voting yes. Sun Bowl is in a desperate need of a renovation and can be used to draw in large name performers and large events. Tax dollars generated will pay for itself.

    Awesome video. Cool to see things happening here as I’ve taken my kids here so many times over the years

    Seems like a no brainer, I'll be voting yes. Great video as always.

      Agreed!There are some that oppose it though including a few city council candidates running. Need to make sure we get the right people in. Thank you for the feedback on the video!

    Nice. I was there in July , and in Hurricane as well. Great to see the area and how the city thrives, the vibe.

    Very informative. I hope that $32 per month won't be viewed as a budget buster. I'll admit I use only one park for my morning walks. But, I enjoy driving around town and seeing other community members taking advantage of their neighborhood parks and trails.

    • @MaximusWilliams
      @MaximusWilliams Před 11 měsíci +3

      It's $32 per YEAR, per household with no yearly increase.

    • @macraeheppler
      @macraeheppler  Před 11 měsíci +1

      It's something we've been paying for 25 years and I really really hope we get to continue paying for the next 25. Small price for such a big return

  • @MaximusWilliams
    @MaximusWilliams Před 11 měsíci +1

    If available, I'd definitely put a sign in my yard to vote "yes" for the G.O. Bond in November!

    Does Saint George assess an impact fee for all new residential construction to fund the new parks?

    • @JohnBunderson
      @JohnBunderson Před 11 měsíci +1

      Saint George assess an impact fee to new residential construction to built new Parks. Search for it, I've posted the link twice, but it's being removed from comments.

      Sorry i accidentally overlooked this question. Yes it is $4200

  • @aliceloeffler1178

    The trail and park system impressed me when I first moved here. I would rather have my tax dollars go to something everybody can enjoy. If this doesn't pass, we are letting the wrong people live here.

    • @macraeheppler
      @macraeheppler  Před 11 měsíci

      There are a few candidates running for city council that are opposing it as well. Hoping we get the right people in! This year's vote is extremely important

      "If this doesn't pass we are letting the wrong people live here", that's a very telling statement!

    Vote NO! The unbridled greed and growth from rich developers has to stop. Why aren't these developers tasked with building parks in their mega developments? More growth isn't the answer. But of course a realtor would be all for unbridled growth. Vote NO!!!

    • @macraeheppler
      @macraeheppler  Před 11 měsíci +1

      They are tasked with it too. These are city parks, trails, and amenities. Appreciate the comment though.

      St George has been one of the fastest growing cites in the US for decades. Growth and development is coming whether you like it or not.
