Texas State Bargain Sets Big Bend Park Financing
Debate centers on a $750 008 appropriation for lands in the proposed Big Bend National Park area in southern Texas. Leaders say the sum is about one third of the original request and may rise if the Legislature approves a plan with National Park Service cooperation. The bill awaits House action after Senate approval, with a $2 per acre cap noted. The park would span roughly 773 000 acres, with state lands to be assembled and handed to the Park Service for operation, making it Texas’s first national park.
