Everglades National Park has recently published the preferred alternative for their
Commercial Services Plan (CSP). Public comment is open until May 15, 2008.
The plan would require over $22M in private capital to accomplish and estimates no
changes until 2013. Please share your thoughts with the NPS as they are requesting.
The Alternative E team, remains focused on the General Management Plan (GMP),
not the CSP, but we wanted you to be informed. While we have individual viewpoints
about the CSP, we have no team opinion on the CSP and remain focused on the GMP.
