Connecticut Parks Reopen
By gb on Sep 04, 2010 with Comments 0
Seven state parks and campgrounds in southeastern Connecticut that were closed Friday as a precaution while Hurricane Earl approached New England are reopening immediately – well ahead of the original plan to reopen them at 12 p.m. today.
At Governor Rell’s direction, state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) crews made thorough assessments of the parks early this morning to determine whether it was possible to reopen them earlier than the original target time. After an on-site review, DEP officials reported no signs of major damage. Swimming areas also appear to be free of complications from storm water runoff or riptides, although those conditions may be subject to change.%0
