in the South Shore Area
Quality
of Life and Environment
A message from Dr. Steven G. Sanders Chairman of the Board/CEO, NATCO Communications
Marion
County and the South Shore have been recognized by Department
of Agriculture scientists as having the highest quality
of life factors - or "natural amenities" - in
the Midwest. Because of this, our region attracts tourists
and retirees. This portion of our Web site provides ready
access to the work of researchers and the data they are
collecting to monitor the quality of water, ground, air,
and ecology of the South Shore. By making the information
readily available, we hope to create an awareness of our
region, its strengths, and the possible threats to our
environment.
A
goal of the South Shore Foundation is to encourage economic
growth while, at the same time, preserving those factors
which produce a high quality of life. We are fortunate in
this effort to have the assistance of many other groups who
share our awareness and concern.
