Proposed For Closure
The Railtown 1897 State Historic Park was one of the 48 California state parks proposed for closure in January 2008 by California's Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as part of a deficit reduction program, though it did not close.
In May 2011, California State Parks announced the closure of Railtown 1897 along with other 69 parks. The closing was anticipated in July 2012, but due to the efforts of locals and enthusiasts, Railtown will stay open until at least July 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word proposed:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
