Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

The county could bring in new revenue and offload operating costs, but park users may see new fees or charges for things that were free.

✅Who benefits

The county budget and the private operator stand to gain, and park users could benefit if the deal pays for repairs and better amenities.

⚠️Who could be affected

People who rely on free or low-cost park access—especially low-income residents—could get squeezed by new fees or restrictions.
