State Park Buildings and Facilities Emergency Repair and Maintenance
This program funds unpredictable maintenance expenditures in State Parks such as storm damage, waterline repair, electrical system repair, erosion repair, utility system repair, and small site improvements.
Accelerated maintenance funding for state parks allows the system to quickly respond to unforeseen events such as severe storms, flooding, and utility system failures that impact park users.
