Today, Rep. Mark Green joined Rep. James Comer (KY-1) in introducing the Land Between the Lakes Recreation and Heritage Act. The legislation aims to improve and rehabilitate the Land Between the Lakes and address concerns raised by LBL proponents. 

Green said, “Tennesseans, Kentuckians, and Americans from coast to coast enjoy Land Between the Lakes. Ensuring greater transparency and increased permanent funding is crucial for the long-term success of Land Between the Lakes. I’m proud to work alongside Rep. Comer on this important legislation. This effort will provide an improved and rehabilitated Land Between the Lakes for generations to enjoy.” 

The Land Between the Lakes Recreation and Heritage Act ensures the LBL National Recreation Area (NRA) is a separate unit of the National Forest System, specifies use of collected user fees for new work or deferred maintenance at the NRA, ensures transparency concerning the advisory board, clarifies the definition of a resident/relative regarding burial rights at LBL cemeteries, and authorizes a minimum of $8 million annually for Land Between the Lakes.
