Moving the Berkeley County Roundhouse Authority to the Department of Arts, Culture, and History.

HB 2495 moves the Berkeley County Roundhouse Authority - a nonprofit managing historic railroad facilities - from its current structure into the West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture, and History. The bill transfers operational control to the department’s Division of Culture and History, where the authority will continue its work preserving the B&O Martinsburg Shops (a National Historic Landmark) and promoting tourism and education. This procedural change aims to streamline the authority’s efforts in historic preservation and community engagement under state oversight. The bill does not create new policies but reorganizes an existing entity.
