Bill > HR6798

This bill, titled the "Calumet National Heritage Area Act," proposes to amend the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act to officially designate the Calumet region, spanning parts of Indiana and Illinois, as a National Heritage Area. This designation recognizes the region's unique combination of industrial history, significant natural resources like the Indiana Dunes, and the cultural contributions of immigrants and migrants who settled there. The bill outlines the specific boundaries of this new heritage area and designates the Calumet Heritage Partnership as the local entity responsible for its coordination. Furthermore, it requires this local entity to submit a management plan to the Secretary of the Interior for approval within three years and establishes that federal assistance for this heritage area will conclude 15 years after the bill's enactment.
