Harrisburg, PA ~ Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has received praise for his newly formed Office of Outdoor Recreation, which is seen as an example of "government done right". The office was created with the signing of a bipartisan budget that invests $112 million to improve state parks and forests, and spur economic growth in the outdoor recreation industry.

The Office will coordinate efforts with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), the departments of Community and Economic Development and Health, PennDOT, and others, to create a cohesive strategy for the growth and expansion of the outdoor sector. This sector adds $14 billion to Pennsylvania's economy and accounts for 152,000 jobs.
