Draft GMP/EIS

The Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/EIS) for Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites is now available for public review and comment. The plan will guide long-term decisions about the preservation and use of the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site (Val-Kill), and the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site.

The draft plan describes the resource conditions and visitor experience as they should exist at the national historic sites over the next 20 years. It presents three management alternatives, one of which has been selected as the preferred option. It also assesses the potential impacts of the alternatives on park resources, the visitor experience, park operations, and the surrounding area.
