The cost was for "trail development" on public lands, that did not include any park infrastructure. I also did not like how they already have a "construction contractor" on board to do said work, getting paid for it of course. I just belive you can tap into labor resources in clubs like CORE that would be willing to do alot of this trail development for free, truly volunteering. They were NOT talking buying land from the state, but getting state funding to develop trails as part of the deal.... seems like a long put getting that kind of tax dollars with the current budget limitations with the state.

I agree with the concerns you state above and will send an e-mail to my friend today to follow up. When it comes to dealing with any government organization there is always red tape and fluff involved.
Correct as there is no intention for OMTA to buy land
from the state. The land would be owned by the state but it is likely that the state would have to somehow acquire land.........they are not going to open up existing state park land to fourwheeling.........
