Adaptive Ways to Reuse NPS Facilities
The National Park Service (NPS) provides for leasing of historic as well as non-historic properties in park areas. A lease authorizes activity not permitted by a concessions contract or commercial use authorization. All leases must provide for fair market value rent as determined by an appraisal. Leasing revenue can be used to fund: historic preservation projects; capital improvements of the historic properties; park infrastructure; and maintenance backlog.
Leasing/concession management/CUA management are part of the NPS Commercial Services Program.
