The Green Mountain Scenic Overlook and Trailhead project is under review for the construction of a second observation tower. This project is planned to be located at the Green Mountain Scenic Overlook and Trailhead. The estimated construction cost is over $4.2 million, with funding from a $650,000 grant, a $650,000 Tourist Development Tax match, and other sources including penny sales tax and park impact fees. The project involves the construction of a new observation tower, which will require site preparation, foundation work, structural assembly using materials like COR-TEN steel, elevator installation, and finishing. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential phases, as this is an early stage in the public review process. Early engagement can provide an advantage before final bid documents and permits are established.
