The National Park Service has begun a General Management Plan (GMP) for Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in Saint Louis, Missouri. Our goal is to develop a plan that will establish a clear vision and serve as a guide for the long term management of the site that memorializes the westward expansion of the United States.

A planning team has developed five preliminary alternatives for how the Memorial might look in the future. An important part of the alternatives are the management zones that have been developed and applied to each alternative in different ways.

Based on public response, the planning team will move ahead with the development of the General Management Plan for the Memorial. Eventually a preferred alternative will be determined. There will be opportunity for public input throughout the planning process.

Please use the links below to learn more about the General Management Plan and how you can participate.

I encourage you to become involved in the future of Jefferson National Expansion Memorial by providing us with your thoughts. Public communication, collaboration and cooperation are essential to developing a successful plan for the preservation and future management of this site. We look forward to hearing from you.
