President Donald Trump’s Interior Ministry is investing over $300 million to repair aging infrastructure at national parks, wildlife refuges, and fishing hatcheries, battling a massive maintenance backlog left by several previous administrations.
“The President is a builder, he loves to build and he loves our National Parks, so it is a natural fit that the Administration is dedicating so much attention to rebuilding our aging parks infrastructure,” Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said in a June 6 release announcing some $250 million for the National Park Service, followed by a similar announcement of $50 million for the Fish and Wildlife Service the next day.
