@jfrankl This may need to go to you first due to potential impact on layout.

@dboyer and I discussed this morning. We are going to make the case to parks that adding all of this additional text will make the dashboard less useful. The dashboard should provide the user with a quick overview of the project. This additional text is going to clutter the now streamlined page, resulting in significantly more scrolling to access the content.

1331 adds links to the headings on the dashboard. This will enable folks to learn more about those sections if they want. I don't think each of these sections needs a description though. See the attached screen shots.

Now:

tc-notext-1

With the proposed text:

tc-extratext-1
