Public Comment Sought on Strategic Plan for Utah State Parks Boating Program

Salt Lake City - The Division of Utah State Parks and Recreation has developed and is seeking public comment through January 10, 2010 on a draft strategic plan for its statewide boating program.

The plan is located for review online at: stateparks.utah.gov/planning. Hardcopies can be reviewed at the Utah State Parks Office at 1594 West North Temple, Suite 116 in Salt Lake City.

The boating program provides funding and other support for the great variety of boating opportunities found throughout the state. The draft plan identifies issues relating to boating facilities, opportunities and management in Utah and will make recommendations to guide program managers for the next 10 years.

The planning team consisted of enthusiasts from the various types of boating recreation, boating program managers, facility managers, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and other agencies. This team developed recommendations in the draft plan through surveys of boaters and boating area managers, and a series of planning team meetings.
