By ROGER AMSDEN, for THE LACONIA DAILY SUNLACONIA — The Belknap County Conservation District was established on Valentine's Day in 1946. Now in its 71st year, the district is looking for a little love from the Belknap County Delegation when it takes up funding for outside agencies Friday night at the Belknap County complex. Howard maintained that the conservation district is a private business which "gives federal tax dollars to private landowners to increase the value of their property." "County funding for staff and operating costs key to success, since most grants do not fund these costs," said Hepp. The county delegation meets at 6 p.m. Friday at the Belknap County complex.
