Kentucky Wildlands National Heritage Area Act

This bill designates 32 counties in eastern Kentucky as the Kentucky Wildlands National Heritage Area, creating a federally recognized site within the National Heritage Area System. It establishes Eastern Kentucky PRIDE, a Kentucky nonprofit, as the local coordinating entity responsible for managing the area. The bill requires this entity to submit a management plan to the Secretary of the Interior within three years of enactment, and authorizes federal assistance for the area for up to 15 years from the bill's enactment date. The designation aims to support local conservation, cultural preservation, and community development efforts in these counties.
