BLM asking for public input on proposed recreation business plan
PHOENIX (KYMA, KECY) - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is asking the public for their input on a Recreation Business Plan.
The business plan would change fee structures at some areas such as:
- Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area near Safford
- Long-Term Visitor Areas (LTVAs) and amenity sites near Ehrenberg, Quartzite, Oxbow and Yuma
- Painted Rock Petroglyph Campground near Gila Bend
- San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area near Hereford
- Stateline Campground near Kanab, Utah
Plans for this proposal would change fee costs, maintenance costs and other expenditures, according to BLM.
Fees collected would be invested back into local recreation programs.
“The BLM has not updated business plans for our recreation sites to reflect market conditions in decades,” said Gerald Davis, BLM Arizona Deputy State Director for Resources and Planning. “The updated plans would enable the BLM to improve services and amenities in order to ensure these sites provide the exceptional experiences that visitors to public lands deserve.”
