State Report Finds Repairs Needed In State Parks

(Tallahassee, FL) -- Over half-a-billion dollars in repairs are needed in our state parks. That's according to a report released yesterday by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. It finds the state's 175 parks need about 760-million dollars in repairs. Most of the money is needed to fix visitor centers, restrooms and other facilities. Martin County Republican State Senator Gayle Harrell pushed for the law that mandated the report. She tells the Tampa Bay Times it's a first step in making sure our parks remain the best in the country.
