The National Park Service (NPS) invites interested members of the public to
attend a 2nd public meeting related to the Proposed Demolition of Historic Structures
Environmental Assessment (EA) in New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. The
proposal is part of a larger project within the park funded by the Great American Outdoors Act
Legacy Restoration Fund to rehabilitate historic structures, invest in park infrastructure, address deferred maintenance needs, and reduce unnecessary operational costs and maintenance burdens.
 
Description:
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, at the New River Convention Center, 497 Mall Road, Oak Hill, WV. The doors will open at 5:30 pm and the meeting will begin at 6:00 pm. During the meeting the NPS will present information about the EA that identifies 19 historic structures and one non-historic addition to a historic structure as potentially excess and appropriate for demolition. These structures were evaluated by NPS employees for historic status during the planning process; they are considered historic and are either listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The EA evaluates three alternatives for the structures. Additional information about the alternatives can be found in the document and will be provided at the public meeting. The public also will be given the opportunity to ask questions and provide comments with a limit of five minutes per person.

Meeting Directions/Instructions:
The doors will open at 5:30 pm and the meeting will begin at 6:00 pm.
