State to upgrade three beach concessions at Gaviota Refugio El Capitan
Todd Neiger of the State Department of Parks and Recreation says the concession stands at Gaviota Refugio and El Capitan beaches were closed January 31 for upgrades. Upgrading includes cleaning repairing and painting and the state plans to hire two concessionaires to operate the three stands with one-year contracts. The project could cost about $80 000 with renovations to follow and bids for longer term deals after rebuilding. John Davis previously operated the stands but received a letter of discontinuation. Davis may bid again on five year agreements when open.
