Where do you go for exercise, inspiration, quiet?
Where can you find wildlife, wildflowers and wonder?
The answer should be Massachusetts’ State Parks.
But while we love to boast how we compare to other states in terms of education, history and tourism, Massachusetts spends less than 46 other states on parks and recreation.
It’s no wonder that there is a billion-dollar backlog of deferred maintenance and crumbling infrastructure at Massachusetts State Parks.
You see it on your walk, your hike, as you kayak or canoe.
You see it from horseback, on your bicycle, from the top of the hill.
ARPA Funds to the Rescue!
We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend $100 million dollars on park infrastructure through the American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds*
—But we must ask for it!
*More about ARPA at the MCV website.
PLEASE TAKE OUR VERY SHORT SURVEY
Tell us where you would spend the $100 million ARPA funds.
We will send your answers to our representatives and show them why we need it all!
Thank you.
