Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a National Heritage Area in the Calumet region, likely in Indiana and Illinois, to preserve and promote the area's industrial, cultural, and natural history. The designation would allow the federal government to work with local communities, businesses, and organizations to protect important historical sites, support tourism, and manage natural resources in the region. Residents, historians, and local businesses in the Calumet area would benefit from increased funding and coordinated planning efforts to develop the region's heritage attractions.
