After weeks of debate, congress has decided to pass a three year re-authorization on the program dedicated to impacting state parks and outdoor recreation.
According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the state saw a total of 750,000 dollars in 2014.
“If you look at the state of Colorado, there have been many parks and many projects that have gone towards enhancing outdoor recreation in perpetuity,” says Mike Porras with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “So, overall the state has benefited, it’s benefited all the citizens of the state.”
According to the Center For Western Priorities, the bill authorizing a permanent renewal for the Land and Water Conservation Fund now has 200 bipartisan cosponsors.
