California parks officials say Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed budget would make it possible to nearly double the operating hours planned at a new visitor’s center and museum at Donner Memorial State Park north of Lake Tahoe.
The center is scheduled to open in late spring along Interstate 80 near Truckee.
Brown’s $113 billion budget blueprint has $37 million for state parks, including $424,000 for the 10,000-square-foot visitor’s center.
