Creates the "U.S. Grant Heritage Area" in Missouri
HB 801 creates the "U.S. Grant Heritage Area" in Missouri, encompassing 25 designated counties (tier one) and three additional counties plus St. Louis (tier two). It establishes a management plan process requiring the Missouri Humanities Council and National U.S. Grant Trail Association to develop a comprehensive strategy within two years, focusing on protecting and promoting the region's cultural, historical, and natural resources. The bill sets tiered funding limits (50% for tier one counties, 25% for tier two) on public funds used for heritage area projects and mandates public input through a committee of stakeholders. This framework aims to coordinate state agencies, local governments, and organizations to guide long-term resource protection and development in the designated area.
