The state is paying nearly $100,000 to keep its national parks — New River Gorge and Harpers Ferry — open despite the federal shutdown. That agreement ends Friday night, Morrisey said.
Morrisey said Tuesday he intends to extend that agreement with the federal government if federal operations have not resumed by then. If necessary, he’ll extend the agreement through the end of the month, he said.
