Glad we could all contribute!

I guess we could not ask the businesses that are the majority use of the summit to pay.

The Berlin Sun had an article with some other state parks getting upgrades. Mollidgewock State Park is getting a major upgrade with expansion and new building. Its a somewhat forgotten state park campground with sites along the rapids on the Androscoggin. Additional upgrades and expansion at Diamond Pond State Park and Jericho State Park (both are real popular with the ATV crowd. Cannon Mtn also gets a new wastewater disposal system at the summit development. And new signs for Franconia Parkway (I wonder if they are reinstalling the ones that were removed a several years after the parkway was installed?). No love listed for Moose Brook or Milan Hill State Parks.

Of course the problem over the years has been staffing and maintaining the northern state parks. Staff gets moved around and as people retire they do not always get replaced. Repairs are band aid as the budgets are always tight as fees rarely cover the ongoing expenses.

FWIW, NH isn't the only state spending Covid funding.
