GF&P has dropped the proposal. it never was a good location - overpriced problematic in every way.
What it was is a political move to draw attention to a percieved need backed by the parks concessionaire to raise their % payment to the state should any sites get added.
I hear they have changed the proposal instead to adding 66 sites to the existing camps at Stockade Lake,
The original proposal ran into universal opposition from every business association, local. AHJ's, first responders and wildlife groups.
The appropriations committee hearing for sd hb 1048 is at 7:45am cst in room 414, feb. /1 2022 in SD state house chambers.
I will be addressing the committee, as a neither for or against. Will present a historical and financial perspective to the proposal to educate our legislators
