2Vicksburg National Military Park conveyance and boundary modification
This section would require the Secretary of the Interior to convey two parcels of National Park Service land located within the boundary of Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi to the State of Mississippi, without any payment from the State, subject to any terms and conditions the Secretary decides are appropriate. The first parcel, about 3.66 acres and shown on a map called VICK-2024-01, would go to the State for use as a welcome center or other public use. The second parcel, about 6.48 acres and shown on a map called VICK-2024-02, would go to the State for use as an interpretive center, museum, or other public use. Once the Secretary conveys this land, the Secretary would then have to modify the boundary of Vicksburg National Military Park so the boundary reflects that these parcels are no longer part of the park.
