This project is for acquisition of property to add to the County park inventory. The amount of acreage the Department is able to purchase is affected by the location and price of each parcel. Since 2006, the Department has added over 450 acres to its inventory. While not all of these sites required regular mowing at the time of their acquisition, most of the acreage will be developed into future park sites if they have not already been developed and require more intensive maintenance.

$26.10/acre to mow at park sites. Assuming a site is mowed 29 times per mowing season and assuming only half of the added acreage (225) will be mowed, the cost to maintain this addt'l acreage is $169,650 per mowing season.
