PROVINCETOWN – The National Park Service has confirmed to Congressman William Keating that Fiscal Year 2017 funds had been budgeted to complete the design and engineering for the relocation of the Herring Cove Beach Parking Lot.
Additionally, the NPS has provided storm damage funding to the Cape Cod National Seashore in order to remove the scattered asphalt that currently poses a public safety hazard on Herring Cove beach.
“The current Herring Cove Parking Lot is dangerous and harmful to our tourism economy, and that is being kind,” said Congressman Keating. “My office worked tirelessly to ensure that those responsible for allocating this funding at NPS understood the importance of this vital public space to the people of Provincetown, and indeed to all of those who make up the outer Cape Community.”
Final Construction on the relocation of the Herring Cove Beach Parking Lot is slated to be funded and occur in Fiscal Year 2018.
