More Park Money Needed In Waterloo Community
It would pay boosters of Waterloo to boost park funding until the system is better maintained from taxation. The current law allows two mills per dollar of property, but Waterloo’s fund is about $900, with nearly half eaten by interest. The city has several parks in need of care, and park board workers have already contributed labor to cut costs. Boosters urge more money to keep parks in top shape, suggesting a civic benefit that could lift real estate values and attract residents. A civic fund drive or benefit like a late parade could double the park fund annually.
