Preserve your Zoo...

Thank you Lucas County Voters!

Your support for Issue 13 will allow for improvements necessary to preserve and maintain the Zoo that you know and love, as well as ensure the ability to continue the highest standards of animal care. This levy is about preserving the Zoo we have now - not for making the Zoo bigger.


Issue 13 is a 1.0 mill capital improvement initiative *that it takes the place of a levy that expired in 2005.*



**Preserve the Wonder...** Funds from Issue 13 will be used to:
Preserve and improve the Zoo's Aquarium and other historic WPA-era buildings Complete major repairs and maintenance Reinvent our Children's Zoo so that kids and school groups can use it year-round, rain or shine Help the Zoo implement ways to save energy and reduce utility costs Improve the elephant and rhino exhibits Make other necessary upgrades throughout the Zoo.

Preserve your Investment...

Last year, more than 36,000 Lucas County school children experience the Zoo for FREE through our educational programs.
An additional 50,000 local residents enjoyed the Zoo at no cost. Lucas County residents benefit from FREE admission each Monday when they arrive between 10 a.m. and noon.
Over the last ten years, each levy dollar the Zoo received has returned $6.50 in LOCAL economic activity, creating jobs outside the Zoo.
From 1996-2005, The Toledo Zoo had a $664 million economic impact in LUCAS COUNTY.
Issue 13 will cost the owner of a $100,000 home just $2.55 per month.
