Lake Martin not only adds to the quality of life in Elmore County but it also has a major positive economic impact on our county.
This morning members of the Elmore County Commission, the Elmore County Economic Development Authority and other Elmore County representatives attended the presentation of the Fiscal and Economic Development Impact of Lake Martin study at Central Alabama Community College.
We were presented with information on the huge impact Lake Martin has on Elmore, Tallapoosa and Coosa counties. A high percentage of the total land value in Elmore County is present on the shores of Lake Martin and this equates to a major positive impact on the annual property tax collections for the county.
It is good to be reminded of how blessed we are to live in a community with great natural resources and the positive impact our lakes have on not just Elmore but surrounding counties as well.
