Steel Industry National Historic Site Act

H.R. 2867, the Steel Industry National Historic Site Act, proposes the creation of a new unit within the National Park System located in Pennsylvania. The bill would authorize the federal government to acquire specific lands through donations to preserve and interpret the history of the American steel industry. If enacted, the Department of the Interior would be required to develop a comprehensive management plan to oversee the site’s operations and public access. For citizens, this would result in the permanent protection of industrial heritage sites and the creation of a new national park destination for education and tourism.
