President / Treasurer, Gary Joynor, recently released a statement as well as a recap of receipts and expenditures for 2023 by the Jackson Parish Watershed Commission. 

“I wanted to give a recap of Receipts & Expenditure’s for 2023 for Jackson Parish Watershed. I’d like to thank each person that gave donations to the watershed as well as thank the Sheriff Department for mowing the spillway and Ebenezer launchs. But mostly I’d like to thank each person that purchased annual boat launch passes and each person that pays the $3.00 daily launch fee. Launch fees are the bulk of our revenue as we do not receive any tax payer money for revenue. I hope you can see in the report that we are not trying to save money, but rather spend it wisely on upkeep of the piers and launches as well as keep good lighting and clean restrooms for public use. But mainly you can visibly see how well kept the launches and piers are kept thanks to you the public for those of you that pay to use them. Future plans this year will be to add lighting to the public pier at Ebenezer park and add bumpers to the all piers at Ebenezer and spillway and restripe Ebenezer parking lot just to name a few things.
Thanks for your support.” – Gary Joyner
