The funding is designated for the biennium beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027.
The bill emphasizes the importance of upgrading the infrastructure at Lake Metigoshe State Park to ensure proper sanitation and water services for visitors and the local community. This initiative reflects a commitment to maintaining and improving state park facilities, thereby enhancing the overall experience for park-goers and supporting local environmental health.
