Extending Protection and Support for National Heritage Areas

This act extends financial support and protection for two significant natural and cultural areas: the Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor and the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area. This ensures that local communities and organizations can continue projects related to environmental protection, education, and tourism, positively impacting residents' quality of life and regional development.
Key points
The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor will receive support until 2036, ensuring continuity of conservation and educational efforts.
The total funding cap for both areas has been removed, allowing for greater flexibility in securing funds for future projects.
The Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area will be protected and supported for an additional 30 years, enabling long-term planning and development.
