Gateway Partnership Act
Plan to allow private events at Gateway Arch park buildings
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Lets the Interior Department make a deal with the Gateway Arch Park Foundation to host private events in buildings like the Visitor Center and Old Courthouse
- Events must fit the park’s purpose, protect its look and history, and cannot block or disrupt public access
- Sets limits on how many events can happen each week and when the foundation can be the only group using certain spaces
- Requires enough park staff on site and insurance that covers the United States in case of injuries or damage
- Charges fees to cover wear and tear, admin, and staffing costs; the park can still host or permit other events
