Everglades National Park recently caused some concern among business owners with a Zoom meeting that mentioned a potential tiered fee system based on gross revenue. Superintendent Pedro Ramos has reached out to clarify that the Park has no plans to implement such a system.
“The park team and I are very comfortable with the current fee amount and we have not been planning,or intend to plan for another increase.” – Pedro M. Ramos
The current Commercial Use Authorization (CUA) fee will remain at $850 annually. This fee helps cover the cost of administering the CUA program, which allows businesses to operate within the Park.
The Park acknowledges there may have been confusion due to previous information shared, and they apologize for any inconvenience caused. They are committed to clear communication with CUA holders moving forward.
