$750 Million Investment In Our National Parks

Secretary Salazar announced a $750 million investment in America's national park system as part the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. The National Park Service's Recovery Act projects will benefit both large parks such as Yellowstone, where more than $9 million will be spent to completely overhaul an antiquated waste water treatment facility, and smaller parks such as Perry's Victory and International and Peace Memorial in Ohio, where $7 million will be spent in the first phase of renovating the 352-foot monument that commemorates Oliver Hazard Perry's naval victory during the War of 1812.
