Noted the other day is that the Environmental Assessment document (69 pages) for the new OFVEC is available online (any comments due to YNP by March 10). But wondering since things were still a bit loose last I'd heard, I queried about the funding. The following was received today from Beth Kaeding, Interpretive Planner, YNP: "Yes, funding for the OFVEC is secured -- YPF [Yellowstone Park Foundation] has its $15 million and FY '06 line item construction has the additional $11 million in it. Construction is scheduled to begin April 2006.." So this year we get to put up with OF Inn things, next year apparently Inn and VC.
