Vermont State Parks

 

Vermont’s 52 state parks are an increasingly popular destination for Vermonters and out-of-staters alike. But some park facilities are in need of serious renovations. Officials say it would take 40 million dollars to do the work necessary to prevent further deterioration of park infrastructure, and a commission studying the problem is set to make its recommendations shortly. We’ll talk with the person who chairs the panel and with the head of the state park system.(Listen)

Also, we talk with Matt Cota of the Vermont Fuel Dealers Association about payment options available to consumers for the upcoming heating season. Dealers are feeling the pinch from high oil prices and that's reflected in what they're able to offer. (Listen)

Finally, we'll read several of the many emails we received in response to Wednesday's program on domestic solar energy.
