RICHMOND, Va. - The National Park Service invites the public to a foundation document meeting that will guide future planning and management at the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site. This informal meeting will be held on Monday, February 1, 2016 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at UNOS, 501 N. 2nd Street. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss key aspects of the mission of Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site. National Park Service staff will be available to record feedback.
A foundation document involves revisiting a national park unit's core mission and significance, most important resources and values, and the interpretive themes that tell the park's stories. Although the foundation document is not a decision-making document and does not include actions or management strategies, it describes a shared understanding of what is most important about the park. Preparing the foundation document is the first step for considering the park's future planning and needs.
This meeting is part of a nationwide effort to complete foundation documents for all 409 park units in the national park system.
For more information call 804-771-2017 or visit www.nps.gov/mawa.
