PORTLAND (AP) – The National Park Service has awarded $8.3 million in federal stimulus money to Acadia National Park for road repair and park improvement projects.
Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, said specific projects include demolition of abandoned buildings and roads, replacement of deteriorated safety and information signs and repair of damaged culverts and headwalls on roads.
Funds will also be used to rehabilitate roads and parking areas at Schoodic Education and Research Center.
Calling Acadia National Park a state and national treasure, Snowe said she’s proud to see funding go toward improving and protecting one of America’s most visited national parks.
