Scope and Content Note

Records in this series include copies of the SCORP report, as well as various background materials used in its preparation, including environmental impact statements, surveys, public comments, and reports. The environmental impact statements are copies of records generated by other participants in the planning process and are used by the unit only for reference. The surveys and reports, generated by the Office of Parks and Recreation, provide both an inventory of services offered by the agency for public use as well as an assessment of the public's preferences for services and level of participation in park-related activities throughout the state. These are statistical analyses that are ultimately used in the SCORP and thus are broadly duplicated in that report. There is no supporting documentation in the series from before 1994, rather only plans.
