Petition · Loving County, Texas

Open unused county land to community gardens on a $1 revocable license

To: the Loving County Commissioners Court (County Judge + 4 Precinct Commissioners)

Newark, New Jersey leases vacant lots to residents for $1 a year through its Adopt-a-Lot program, and Baltimore grants free, revocable licenses — neither sells the land. Brown County, Wisconsin has run community gardens through its Extension office since 1996: 13 gardens and 386 plots. We ask Loving County to let residents garden unused county land under a simple revocable license.

When it reaches the goal it’s handed to the officials named above at a public meeting, and their answer is posted online. This is a petition to your elected officials — like the clipboard at the courthouse door. It does not put anything on the ballot; that takes the state’s official petition process. Names are never shown publicly. County Commons — an independent, nonpartisan public-records project.
