Mosquito Control/West Nile Prevention Grant

The Conservation District brought together 10 local agencies and wrote a grant for funds from the State’s Emergency Insect Management grant to fight West Nile vector mosquitoes.  The grant for $96,000 was awarded to allow rural districts to spray later in the summer, to augment the City’s larvaciding operation, and to improve education efforts in the entire county.
