Unexpected Dividends From State Tax For Cannon Dam Area
Monroe County residents heard at a Hannibal gathering that an one eighth of one percent state sales tax allocated for Conservation will fund state management of Cannon dam lands. Andy Runge of Mexico, on the Conservation Commission, said the department will take over several thousand acres for fish, wildlife, camping and recreation, expanding access and boosting regional tourism. Some lands will remain wilderness while others will gain campsites and roads, enhancing Monroe and Ralls counties as a major local asset anticipated to draw thousands more visitors.
