Salem Maritime: Name Change and Expansion Study
Signed Into Law
This legislation has been enacted.
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This law officially changes the name of the Salem Maritime National Historic Site in Massachusetts to the Salem Maritime National Historical Park. This new name reflects that the area includes multiple historical buildings and locations rather than just one spot.
- The Department of the Interior is now required to study whether the park should be expanded to include more land. They will look at nearby sites connected to the city's famous sailing history, old coastal defenses, and military past.
- The study will specifically check if the Salem Armory Visitor Center and the park next to it should become part of the National Park System. This could lead to better maintenance and more visitors for those specific locations.
- Officials have three years to finish the study once they receive the necessary funding. After that, they must give a report to Congress explaining if expanding the park is a good idea and how much it might cost or require.
