If you’ve ever been in our park service building–and I know a lot of you
certainly have–you know what a wonderful place it is. The attached draft bill has been submitted by retired regional director and Keeper of the National Register, Jerry Rogers, and Kathy Flynn, founder and long-time executive director of the National New Deal Preservation Association.
Purpose
The purpose of the bill is to get the NPS Old Santa Fe Trail Building designated as a national historic site, thereby making it a unit of the National Park Service system and allowing it to be more available to the public and better compete for funding through our project funding system.
Support
If you support this designation, please write to your national congressman
Ben Ray Lujan or senators Bingaman and Udall, to express your support–and feel free to pass the draft and suggestion to write to your congressmen along to others of like mind. The city has passed a resolution in support of this designation,
as well as the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Alliance board of directors
and the National New Deal board of directors.
It is my personal goal to see this designation in place in time for the building’s 75th Anniversary, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if it were sodesignated in 2010 or even 2011! Why wait until 2014?
