Commissioners approve $26,977 in signage for Shoshone Falls overlook; concessions, solar panels and student benches planned
Summary
The board approved $26,977.05 to install an entrance sign and informational signage at the Shoshone Falls overlook; staff reported plans for concessions, ticket booths with solar panels and student‑made benches and noted donations via a 'buy a brick' program.
Parks staff updated the board March 23 on the Shoshone Falls overlook project and the board approved a $26,977.05 expenditure for entrance and informational signage.
Bill Bridges said the overlook will include a concessions stand and ticket booth with solar panels to supply power; he also said CSI students will build six benches under a student program and that a 'buy a brick' donation campaign has been successful. Bridges presented two sign bids, with the selected quote totaling $26,977.05; the board approved the expenditure and staff said the funds will come from donations from Chobani.
Bridges also mentioned interest from a community group proposing a dog park with a training area; commissioners asked staff to consult the Idaho Department of Fish and Game about whether shooting would be permissible in the proposed area.
