WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenNational Heritage Areas are designed to boost local economies through 'heritage tourism.' If this bill becomes law, the region will gain access to federal grants and technical expertise from the National Park Service to preserve local landmarks and promote the area's history. Without this law, the region would have to rely solely on local and state funding to maintain its historical sites and compete with other tourist destinations.
