Help Shape the Measure Q Vision Plan! In 2024, Santa Cruz County voters approved Measure Q — the Safe Drinking Water, Clean Beaches, Wildfire Prevention and Wildlife Protection Act — to fund local projects that improve water quality, reduce wildfire risks, protect natural habitats, and build climate resilience. The Measure is expected to generate over $7 million annually. To ensure these funds are spent in ways that reflect community priorities, the County is developing a Vision Plan—and we want your input! Take our short survey by July 3 to help guide investments over the next 5 years. |
