7 thoughts on “Indiana’s parks and preserves land $57M in upgrades

  1. This is great news. No one can (or should) complain about money spent to preserve, upgrade and maintain one of our state’s most precious assets–our state parks!

    Now….could someone PLEASE invest some money in the rest areas along our Indiana Interstate Highway System? As visitors from other parts of our country, along with residents traveling to state parks and other destinations, I have to say these are beyond embarrassing! While our surrounding states seem to understand that these important way stations that dot our highways are, in and of themselves, indicators of our Hoosier pride. In their current state, many would likely not pass a Department of Health review!

    Again…great news on money well spent for our parks! Looking forward to the improvements!

    1. I couldn’t agree more on the rest stops. Just yesterday, I had to drive to Chicago and back, and the rest stop I used both north and southbound on I-65 were in deplorable condition, fly-ridden and had a disgusting urine stench in them. Not exactly a show of good show Hoosier hospitality and an embarrassment.

    1. If you click on the dot, it shows how funds have been allocated for various projects, corresponding with the various colors/categories.
