Repairs to crumbling infrastructure in Arizona’s national parks have been put off so long that it will now cost more than half a billion dollars to bring them up to standards, a new report by the National Park Service says.
The greatest need is in Grand Canyon National Park, where $329.5 million in maintenance has been deferred. Other parks include: Petrified Forest National Park at $54.5 million; Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, $32.2 million; and Saguaro National Park, $18.4 million.
