In effort to expand data to support county development density control, a local groundwater conservation district may be receiving an influx of funds from Kendall County commissioners to support the district’s monitor well expansion program.
Legislative efforts to expand the county’s development control – aimed at conserving and protecting natural resources, especially water – were curtailed during the 2021 state legislative session, which local officials chalked up to a lack of data to support the legislative efforts.
Curt Campbell, Precinct 4 director for the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District, went before the Kendall County commissioners late last month seeking support to expand their monitor well count, which could help support county officials’ future legislative efforts.
