Toledo Zoo Issue 23 Approved
The Toledo Zoo is extremely grateful to the voters of Lucas
County for the passage of Issue 23, our Operating Levy
renewal and reduction.
The Zoo would like to
thank Lucas County voters for their long-term support of our
historic facility, mission and goals. It is with your help
that we continue to thrive and assist in driving the local
economy. Community support is also one of the main reasons
the Toledo Zoo was voted number one zoo in the nation. Your
Zoo thanks you!
The Zoo would also like to
thank our co-chairs, Ray Wood and Betsy Brady, for their
leadership, and our large team of volunteers for all of
their efforts, hard work and dedication. We could not have
successfully completed our grassroots levy campaign without
all of you. You helped to paint the county golden and black
with Zoo levy signs and ensured "I Love My Zoo" stickers
completed many outfits at festivals and get togethers
throughout our area.
Toledo Zoo Executive
Director Jeff Sailer, adds: “Lucas County voters affirmed
our belief that the Zoo is a beloved part of this community
that we can all unite around. We thank you for support and
look forward to making many more memories together in the
future.”
