西弗州拟1970万美元升级州立公园：迦南谷滑雪场造雪系统再获100万提案
查尔斯顿消息：西弗吉尼亚州州长帕特里克·莫里西（Patrick Morrisey）提出一项总额1970万美元的州立公园投资方案，其中包括追加100万美元，用于升级州属迦南谷度假滑雪场（Canaan Valley Resort State Park）的造雪系统。
根据州长办公室公布的方案，这笔资金由两部分组成：970万美元来自州财政盈余拨款，另1000万美元来自州立公园捐赠基金项目。除了迦南谷的造雪升级，方案还包括卡卡蓬度假州立公园（Cacapon Resort）和酋长洛根州立公园（Chief Logan）的污水处理设施改善，以及鹰巢州立公园（Hawks Nest）电车站房的翻新等项目。
州立公园捐赠基金委员会定于10月20日在查尔斯顿开会审议该方案，因此目前这些项目仍属提案阶段，最终拨款额度有待委员会和后续程序确认。迦南谷位于塔克县，是西弗吉尼亚最重要的滑雪目的地之一，造雪能力直接关系到雪季长度和当地旅游经济。
莫里西政府将州立公园视为该州户外旅游经济的支柱。此前州政府已多次宣布公园系统改善计划，此次追加投资若获通过，将用于一批拖延已久的设施升级。

Morrisey Proposes $19.7 Million State Parks Package, Including $1 Million More for Canaan Valley Snowmaking
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Gov. Patrick Morrisey has proposed a $19.7 million investment package for West Virginia's state parks, including an additional $1 million to upgrade the snowmaking system at the state-owned Canaan Valley Resort State Park ski area.
According to the governor's office, the funding combines $9.7 million from the state surplus with $10 million through the state parks endowment-fund program. Beyond the Canaan Valley snowmaking upgrade, the package covers wastewater improvements at Cacapon Resort and Chief Logan state parks and renovation of the tram station building at Hawks Nest State Park, among other projects.
The state parks endowment fund board is scheduled to meet in Charleston on Oct. 20 to consider the proposal, so the projects remain at the proposal stage pending board and subsequent approvals. Canaan Valley, in Tucker County, is one of West Virginia's premier ski destinations, and snowmaking capacity directly affects the length of its season and the surrounding tourism economy.
The Morrisey administration has cast the state park system as a pillar of West Virginia's outdoor-recreation economy, and the proposed funding would address a backlog of facility upgrades across several parks.
