Legislative Progress
Local historic designations often pass if there is no local opposition, but they are not always a top priority for Congress.
Key Points
- This bill would make the home of George Marshall in Leesburg, Virginia, an official partner of the National Park System. Marshall was a famous military leader and statesman who helped rebuild Europe after World War II.
- The house would stay under the control of its current owners, the George C. Marshall International Center. The federal government would not buy the property or take over the full cost of running it.
- The National Park Service would be allowed to help with technical advice and money for things like marketing, signs, and preserving the historic site. This helps more people learn about Marshall's life and work.
