Harpers Ferry: Land Swap Between National Park and Border Protection
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill would trade land between two government agencies in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. About 25 acres would move from the National Park Service to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
- In exchange, the National Park Service would receive about 71.51 acres of land from the Border Protection agency. This new land would become a permanent part of the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
- The 25 acres going to Customs and Border Protection will be used to expand their Advanced Training Center. If the agency ever decides they no longer need the land, it must be given back to the National Park Service.
- This land swap does not involve any money or payments between agencies. It is a straight trade designed to help the training center grow while also increasing the total size of the protected national park.
