Lost Creek a state park again?

[dubob]

The House and Senate signed the bill yesterday.  Now it will go to the Governor for his signature.  The following information is a quote from the bill itself:

Section 3. [b]Appropriation.[/b]
66          The following sums of money are appropriated for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
67     2021, and ending June 30, 2022. These are additions to amounts previously appropriated for
68     fiscal year 2022. Under the terms and conditions of Title 63J, Chapter 1, Budgetary Procedures
69     Act, the Legislature appropriates the following sums of money from the funds or accounts
70     indicated for the use and support of the government of the state of Utah.
71     ITEM 1
72          To Department of Natural Resources - Division of Parks Capital
73               From General Fund, One-time

$36,500,000

74               Schedule of Programs:
75                    Renovation and Development          $36,500,000
76          Under Section 63J-1-603, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided under
77     this item not lapse at the close of fiscal year 2022. The use of any nonlapsing funds is limited
78     to the development of Utahraptor State Park and Lost Creek State Park. The Legislature intends
79     that up to $7,500,000 be used to acquire land in the Dalton Wells area for inclusion in
80     Utahraptor State Park.

There will be some negotiations between the Feds (Reclamation) and the State to add Lost Creek to the Reclamation lands under control by the State.  Also, there will be design plans drawn up to specify the new configuration of the Lost Creek property.   I would guess that a completion date for everything needed at Lost Creek will take 3 to 5 years.  The money to start doesn't become available until July 1, 2021.  Since Lost Creek will become a full blown park to include a camp ground, I will be very surprised if a courtesy dock isn't part of the boat launch upgrade plans.
