Sources and context

County results updated November 9 at 6:46 PM; timezone not printed. Counts remain unofficial. Question 1 did not approve a particular lease or project, and land outside the specified transfer area was unaffected. The 7,377 denominator counts yes/no votes on this question, not city turnout or registered voters. No particular project capex can be assigned to this general land-use vote.
