Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act
Vicksburg National Military Park: Land Transfer to Mississippi
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill would give about 7.4 acres of land from the Vicksburg National Military Park to the State of Mississippi. The land is currently owned by the federal government but would be handed over to the state for free.
- The state must use this land to make it easier for people to visit the park. This could include things like improving roads or paths to help visitors see the historic sites more easily.
- The Secretary of the Interior will make sure the land is not used in a way that hurts the park or ruins the experience for visitors. If the state doesn't follow these rules, the federal government can step in.
- Once the land is handed over, the official boundaries of the park will be changed to show that these specific areas are no longer part of the federal park system.
