Congress Boosts National Park Service Budget by $130 Million to $2.7 Billion

Submitted by Kurt Repanshek on October 29, 2009 - 4:16pm

Congress on Thursday gave the National Park Service a 9 percent budget bump, one that translates into a $130 million boost above the appropriation sought by President Obama. If signed by the president, which is expected to prevent the government from grinding to a halt this weekend, the Park Service's Fiscal 2010 budget will stand at $2.7 billion.
