Entrepreneurs to the rescue
One of my favorite blogs, AZSpot, had a post about how Arizona has voted to lease state parks to private businesses. Government budgets are under extreme pressures and as a result a lot of public parks are being closed down to save money.
The picture above is of a long abandoned motel just outside of Los Angeles across the street from the ocean. The site is incredible but on national park property. People have tried to re-open it over the years but without any success, because it is just too hard to get the parks department to agree to anything.
Done properly allowing the private sector to take things like the above Motel and build something great, revenue producing and respectful of the park property is a win for everyone.
