Buzzard Point Park and Trails National Park Service Grant Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to allow the District Department of Transportation to grant more than $1 million to the National Park Service for park and trail improvements in the Buzzard Point neighborhood. It temporarily amends existing laws that normally cap DDOT grants at $1 million, ensuring funds approved in 2022 can be transferred before a previous temporary exemption expires on August 1, 2024. The measure enables the immediate issuance of the necessary grant to support infrastructure projects on National Park Service land in Southwest Washington.
