A new master plan for the park includes infrastructure improvements to the ski area expected to position a concessionaire to grow recreational opportunities of the site.
DCNR will make $10 million in capital improvements to support the implementation of the master plan for the park.

The property conveyance would also allow the borough additional room to update an adjacent sewage treatment plant, should that become necessary.
