May 2 elections coming for numerous local special districts
Special districts are typically formed to provide a specific service or set of services, such as water, sewage, parks and recreation, or fire protection, to a specific geographic area. Local special district elections can have a significant impact on the day-to-day lives of residents in any community – and here in the Eagle River Valley, we have numerous elections this spring.
These districts are typically governed by a board of directors or other elected officials who are responsible for making decisions regarding the district’s budget, policies, and services. The officials elected to these positions can have a significant impact on the quality and accessibility of these services, as well as the cost to residents.
Local special district elections are important to a community as they impact our quality of life at a local level. National and state issues tend to drive emotional responses, but local special districts impact our lives daily.
