Stratton Ridge Air Force Memorial Act
This bill (S 1876) allows the relocation of a memorial honoring 9 Air Force crew members who died in a 1982 plane crash from private land near the Cherohala Skyway in North Carolina to a rest area at Stratton Ridge within Nantahala National Forest. It requires landowner consent and approval from the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. The requester must cover all costs for relocation, installation, and maintenance, with no federal funds used. The memorial cannot be expanded under the new authorization.
