The Parks Capital Plan |

The 213 state parks and historic sites that span the State of New York showcase the diverse ecosystems, the natural wonder, and the historic importance of New York. The 2008-2009 State Budget appropriated $95 million in capital dollars to be used by four agencies. The majority, $75.5 million, went directly to the Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. Facing a backlog of maintenance and health and safety problems at their facilities, the Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation undertook a comprehensive inventory of all eleven state park regions and has put together a multi-year master plan of repair and enhancement. Please see the reverse side for a list of subjects to which witnesses may direct their testimony. Persons wishing to present pertinent testimony to the Committees at the above hearing should complete and return the enclosed reply form as soon as possible. It is important that the reply form be fully completed and returned so that persons may be notified in the event of emergency postponement or cancellation.
