Clark County voters approved a sixth-tenths mill parks levy on Tuesday, as unofficial results show the levy passed with 57% of the vote.

The levy was an attempt to generate money to fund maintenance of green space, parks and bike trails throughout Clark County.  The parks levy will generate annually $1 million for the National Trail and Parks Recreation District and the Clark County Parks District, the two groups responsible for the maintenance of the parks in Clark County.

The levy will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $21 per year.

Levy results for Clark County:

Bethel Twp. Fire Services/Issue 5 (2 Mill Renewal)
YES: 68% (2,608 votes)
NO: 32% (1, 248 votes)

Bethel Twp. Fire Services/Issue 6 (2 Mill Renewal)
YES: 67% (2,554 votes)
NO: 33% (1,264)

Clark County Combined Health (1 Mill Renewal)
YES: 63% (24,570 votes)
NO: 37% (14, 278 votes)

Clark County Parks (0.6 Mill Additional)
YES: 57% (23,275 votes)
NO: 43% (17,337 votes)

Tuesday, there's an issue on the ballot to support the parks district in Clark County. Last year when voters were asked to approve the 1.62-mill levy, it failed. WYSO's Wayne Baker reports that supporters of the levy are attempting to make the levy more palatable to voters.
