The Lee County Board of Supervisors hopes a simple gesture will kick-off a successful fundraising campaign for two county departments.
The Health and Conservation Departments would like to build a shared facility along Highway 61 near the current Conservation Office.
The building could cost more than $4-million, which is much more than the county can afford at this point.
Supporters say people, businesses and organizations have not been willing to donate money without knowing whether the county would support the project.
