Guernsey Soil and Water
Conservation District Election
On Tuesday October 23rd

annual meeting and banquet. Every year
the GSWCD holds an annual meeting for the purpose of electing members to the
five member board that comprises the board of supervisors for the district. This year there will be two members elected
to a three-year term.
The mission of the Guernsey
Soil and Water Conservation District is to promote through education and
technical assistance the sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit
of present and future generations. The
traditional perception of the Soil and Water Conservation District has been one
of working primarily with the agricultural community. The district does work on natural resource
issues with local agriculture but in addition to that, it is a considerable
resource to all landowners and land users in Guernsey County.
This year's slate of
candidates for election to the district board of supervisors include; Jo Lucas,
Anna Hodges, and Josh Stiers. The two candidates with the most votes will be
elected to a three-year term. The
official election will begin at 5:00 pm Tuesday, October 23rd at the
Deerassic Park Education Center located at 14250 Cadiz Rd, Cambridge, OH 43725.
The dinner, catered by Theo’s
Restaurant, will be served at 6:00pm, with a brief program following the meal.
Tickets for the banquet are $10, and can be purchased from any current board
member, or from the SWCD office. If you
are unable to attend the day of the election, absentee ballots are available at
the district office located at 335C Old National Rd, Old Washington, Ohio until
