MID announces naming contest
The Madera Irrigation District needs your help.
As many may know, the MID owns a piece of property commonly referred to as the “Madera Ranch.” This property is located in southwest Madera County, approximately four miles southwest of the City of Madera. MID purchased the property in 2005 and continues to own and operate the approximately 10,900 acres of grazing land.
As part of the MID’s rebranding effort over recent years, MID needs the community’s assistance in renaming this property. The MID is looking to the residents of Madera County to contribute to the process as a community effort. And, even better, they can win a cash prize of $500 while helping MID.
MID asks that one submits a name for consideration, along with a brief explanation as to why the MID should choose this name. The MID will not consider names of individuals when naming this property as they are looking for a title that reflects the entire community of Madera, the property itself, and/or the significance of MID. For more information on the MID, please visit www.madera-id.org.
