The nаtiоn's nаtiоnаl park system is initiating a tremendоus upgrade and renovation program thanks to renewed interest in outdoor recreation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the visitor center(s) at each national park will be upgraded. The construction phase will last for 2 years and then begin full operation in year 3.  Once operational, it is expected that the upgrades will operate for 20 years (years 3 – 22 of the project). These renovations will cost $100 Million now, $150 Million in year 1, and $50 Million at the end of year 2 in initial expenses.  During the time of the construction (years 0 -  2), the existing privately run vendors that work in the parks will lose a total of $10 Million per year, and the park service will lose $30 Million per year in lost revenue during those 2 years due to decreased visits while the visitor centers are offline. Once open, the upgraded facilities are expected to attract $25 Million in extra revenue to the Park Service per year in years 3 through 22, but the Park Service will incur an additional $8 Million per year in operating expenses over that time due to the new additions.  Additionally, private vendors within the centers are expected to add $6 Million per year in additional sales during years 3 – 22.  Finally, it is expected that other local business near the parks (hotels, restaurants, resorts, etc.) will see an increase in sales totaling $12 Million per year over this operational period (years 3 – 22).  Assuming the social discount rate is 10%...
