Stimulus Money for National Parks

Considering some of the eye-popping numbers that have been associated with the $787 billion stimulus bill, the money allotted for national parks in Oklahoma seems downright modest.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced $750 million worth of projects, and Oklahoma will get $592,000 of that.

The Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Sulphur will receive $551,000 to repair restrooms, trails and a nature center.

The Washita Battlefield National Historic Site, near Cheyenne, will receive $41,000 to replace the fence along the park’s boundary.
