Kentucky Wildlands National Heritage Area Act

The Kentucky Wildlands National Heritage Area Act designates a new national heritage area in Kentucky encompassing thirty-five counties, including Bath, Bell, and Boyd. The Center for Rural Development is named as the local coordinating entity responsible for managing the designation. This group must submit a management plan to the Secretary of the Interior within three years of the bill's enactment. Federal assistance authority for this heritage area will end fifteen years after the law takes effect.
