宾夕法尼亚州特拉华县1.2亿美元自然保护公投11月3日表决
2026年11月1日，宾夕法尼亚州特拉华县将于11月3日投票表决的水质、自然区域与野生动物栖息地保护公投获得公开支持声明，呼吁选民投赞成票。该公投若通过，将授权县政府在未来一段时间内借款最高1.2亿美元，用于保护全县的水质、自然区域、野生动物栖息地、公园、步道和开放空间，但并不要求立即借入全部金额。
支持声明指出，特拉华县剩余的林地、湿地、溪流和其他自然区域惠及每一位居民，保护清洁水源和自然空间将造福子孙后代。赞成票还将为恢复和扩大该县已取得成效的绿道资助项目提供机会，该项目长期支持地方公园与步道建设。特拉华县选民将在11月3日选举日当天对该公投作出决定，与州长、州议会和联邦众议员等多项选举同步投票。
支持方表示，借款将分阶段使用，用于最需要保护的水源地和自然区域。
Delaware County, Pennsylvania Votes Nov. 3 on $120 Million Conservation Referendum
On November 1, a public statement of support was issued for a referendum that Delaware County, Pennsylvania, will vote on November 3, concerning water quality and the protection of natural areas and wildlife habitat, urging voters to vote yes. If approved, the measure would authorize the county to borrow up to $120 million over time to protect water quality, natural areas, wildlife habitat, parks, trails and open space across the county, without requiring the full amount to be borrowed immediately.
Supporters said Delaware County's remaining woodlands, wetlands, streams and other natural areas benefit every resident, and that protecting clean water and natural spaces will serve future generations. A yes vote would also fund the restoration and expansion of the county's successful greenway grant program, which has long supported local parks and trails.
Delaware County voters will decide the referendum on Election Day, November 3, on the same ballot as the governor's race, state legislative contests and U.S. House races. Supporters said the borrowing would be used in phases, directed to the watersheds and natural areas most in need of protection.
