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.
