Turner Legislation to Reauthorize Historic Preservation Fund Passes House

Statement

Congressman Mike Turner, co-chair of the Historic Preservation Caucus, released the following statement after the House passed the National Park Service Centennial Act, which includes the National Historic Preservation Amendments Act, legislation he authored to reauthorize the Historic Preservation Fund:

"Today, the House acted to advance legislation that is critically important to preserving our nation's historic places, parks, and sites for future generations. I have championed the reauthorization of the Historic Preservation Fund, and am proud that it has passed the House.

"The Fund helped to establish the Wright-Dunbar Village Historic District, the West Dayton neighborhood that was once home to the Wright Brothers and African-American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. The Fund has been and will continue to be vital to state, local, and tribal historic preservation programs nationwide with today's reauthorization."
