SB 290 State park planning.
Introduced by: Emmett W. Hanger, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
State park planning. Requires the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Board of Conservation and Recreation to undertake a master planning process for state parks. The process is to ensure public participation in the creation of plans for the development, utilization and management of state parks. The plans are to be developed in stages, allowing for public and legislative comment. The plans are also to include projected development costs and the operational, maintenance, staffing and other financial needs for the various stages of park development that may be proposed in a plan. Projections are also to be made for resource management needs. The Department is required to develop a standard, expressed in park acres and facilities needed on both regional and statewide bases to serve existing and projected populations, to provide an easily understandable mechanism for determining if the park system is meeting, exceeding or falling short of demands and needs. The positive economic impact of parks to the state and local economies is recognized.
