“While behind the scenes planning efforts have been underway for some time, progress will be more visible as construction work begins in 2017. In addition, progress is being made toward establishing a new long-term concession contract for the operation of the dining lodge and cabins.”
“After our maintenance crews have repaired the critical health and safety issues, it is our goal to re-open the Big Spring Lodge and Cabins as soon as possible. We know that while the major renovations are a few years out, having the facility occupied by a concessioner and in use again, before the major renovation work, is the best way to preserve these irreplaceable historic structures. We’re working on the new concession contract prospectus that will reflect the temporary disruption of services during renovations. Our intent is to have the critical repairs done, the concessions contract completed and the facility re-opened sometime in 2017.”
