NORTH PORT (SNN TV) – The city of North Port launches an online survey where you can weigh in on the future of Warm Mineral Springs.

The Herald-Tribune reports the 26-question survey asks residents to weigh in on whether North Port should partner with a private company to operate Warm Mineral Springs.

It reopened April 7 after being closed due to damage from Hurricane Ian. While the park was closed, the city severed ties with longtime vendor, national and State Park Concessions.

North Port earmarked about $9 million to restore three historic buildings on site. However, bids to perform the work came in at roughly $18 million, double the original amount.

A commission is considering a private partner to complete the restoration, which has received pushback, including during public comment and on social media.

The survey can be taken through this link.
