Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $50,000,000

The contract spans ten years and includes multiple revenue‑generating streams (lodging, food‑and‑beverage, retail, marina fees, boat‑portage). Comparable NPS concessions in similar remote parks generate roughly $1‑5 million in annual net revenue per service category. Assuming modest occupancy and seasonal traffic, a total contract value (revenues less NPS‑direct costs) could range from $10 million to $50 million over the full term, i.e., about $1‑5 million per year. The wide range reflects uncertainty in visitor volumes, historic‑preservation funding, and the extent of ancillary services the concessioner elects to develop.
