Unlikely to pass

While heritage area bills often have local support, the vast majority of bills introduced in the House never move past the committee stage or receive a full vote.

Key Points

This bill would create the Endless Mountains National Heritage Area in Pennsylvania. The area would include all of Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna, and Wyoming counties.
National Heritage Areas are places where the federal government helps local groups protect natural and historic sites. This designation helps promote tourism and preserve the local culture and landscape.
A local non-profit group would be in charge of managing the area. They would have three years to create a long-term plan for how to protect the region and share its history with the public.
The federal government would provide money and expert advice to the local group for 15 years. This support is intended to help the region become self-sufficient in managing its heritage sites.
