Trump to pick Wyoming park boss to lead National Park Service: report
BY TIMOTHY CAMA - 07/03/18 04:36 PM EDT
Donald Trump is expected to tap David Vela, the superintendent of Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, to lead the National Park Service (NPS).
Greenwire reported the pick Tuesday, citing several sources familiar with the matter. NPS, the Interior Department and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
Vela told the news outlet that he is “deeply humbled by the rumors and speculation and, if true, would be honored to serve.”
The Trump administration’s agenda for the NPS has centered largely on strategies for tackling its $11.6 billion maintenance backlog.
