What's Happening in Southern Utah: St. George Parks & Rec G.O. Bond

[@captainjaneway80]

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

[@KimPollock]

No brainer is right! thanks so much for posting this video! should be mandatory viewing for every resident of st george!

[@macraeheppler]

I agree!

[@robertk3409]

Thank you for another great video update and information on the upcoming bond vote to keep improving Saint George.

[@macraeheppler]

You bet and thank you!

[@HackModNerd]

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.

[@macraeheppler]

100%!!

[@LDR1075]

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?

[@johnvann7027]

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.

[@macraeheppler]

Agreed!!!

[@homeroraymundo5188]

That’s awesome! Saint George is this beautiful jewel we have in Utah. Good job guys

[@macraeheppler]

Agreed!

[@najruqwi7008]

Wow so many new parks! That is great 👍

[@macraeheppler]

Agreed!

[@Rubiflake]

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

[@macraeheppler]

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!

[@livinginstgeorge]

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

[@macraeheppler]

Agreed! thanks man

[@olympiawashdrummer]

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

[@MIKESCHANNEL-jb1gq]

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]

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

[@macraeheppler]

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]

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

[@macraeheppler]

Love to hear it!! They will be available soon

[@JohnBunderson]

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

[@JohnBunderson]

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.

[@macraeheppler]

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]

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

[@aliceloeffler1178]

@@macraeheppler who are the candidates that oppose this. I'd like to know so I don't waste my vote.

[@mlane3308]

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

[@raymonderickson7975]

😎🇺🇸🇺🇸😎

[@johnvann7027]

it passed

[@mlane3308]

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]

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

[@HackModNerd]

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.

[@mlane3308]

LMAO..Thanks rocket scientist!
