DNR Plans Changes Likely No Big Effect on Jackson Co
Lester P. Voight of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources told a La Crosse audience that moving the district office from Black River Falls to Eau Claire will probably not significantly impact the Jackson County economy. He said Black River Falls will still house the fish management staff, with transfers offset by personnel shifts. The Natural Resources Board voted to defer new office space procurement and to report reorganization details to state senators, amid protests from Black River Falls officials fearing economic loss.
