Save the Liberty Theatre Act of 2021

The Save the Liberty Theatre Act of 2021 would transfer ownership of specific parcels of land in the original townsite of Eunice, Louisiana, from the federal government to the city of Eunice. This transfer would be conducted without cost to the city and would remove these lands from the official boundaries of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve.

The practical impact of this bill is to give the city of Eunice full control over the Liberty Theatre and its surrounding property, allowing the community to manage, restore, and utilize the historic site without federal oversight or restrictions. By streamlining ownership, the bill aims to facilitate local efforts to preserve the theatre as a cultural and economic landmark for the region.
