B 25-0888 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Buzzard Point Park and Trails National Park Service Grant Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill amends local transportation laws to allow the District of Columbia Director to provide grants exceeding one million dollars to the National Park Service. These funds are specifically designated for planning, designing, building, or maintaining parks and trails within the Buzzard Point neighborhood. The legislation is structured as an emergency measure, meaning it will only remain in effect for up to 90 days after approval unless extended. By removing the standard one-million-dollar cap, the act enables larger financial support for infrastructure projects in this specific area.
