The Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) has started to remove more than a dozen vacant buildings throughout the park to restore natural landscapes for visitors, a spokesperson for the park announced Thursday.
The CVNP received $2 million in funding from the Great American Outdoors Act to allow the removal of non-historic buildings and increase recreational opportunities for visitors.
"CVNP was created to protect and restore the Cuyahoga River valley and provide recreational open space for people,” said Lisa Petit, Cuyahoga Valley National Park superintendent. “This project will revitalize 12 acres of parkland by returning it to its natural condition and help us provide visitors with a safer, more enjoyable experience.”
The CVNP said by removing the buildings, some of which have been vandalized and pose a safety risk, will eliminate more than $7 million of maintenance backlog for the facilities in charge of overseeing them."It should not interfere with visitors' experience, although they may see some of the work as they drive through the park," a park spokesperson said.
