Recently, Homestead Main Street was invited to participate in a "Fly In", to Washington, DC to talk to our elected officials about the issue of deferred maintenance in our national parks. Homestead is the proud Gateway City to two national parks, Everglades NP and Biscayne NP, and greatly benefits from the visitors who come to see these two national treasures. The discussions were in support of the National Park Service Legacy Act which would dedicate funding to the national parks' crumbling infrastructure. The Act would create a National Park Service Legacy Restoration Fund that dedicates money to NPS' list of highest priority projects. The Act would dedicate 80 percent to address non-transportation and 20 percent to address transportation projects. Money can't be used for land acquisition. There were teams from Tennessee, New Jersey and Florida. The Florida team included: Renee Kuhlman, Director of Policy Outreach, National Trust; Melissa Wyllie, Executive Director, Florida Trust for Historic Preservation; Christine Rupp, Executive Director, Dade Heritage Trust and Yvonne Knowles, Executive Director, Homestead Main Street. Meetings were held with legislative aides to Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Bill Nelson and Representatives: Carlos Curbelo, Ron DeSantis, Mario Diaz-Balart, Frederica Wilson and Brian Mast. Representative John Rutherford met with us personally as did Terry Camp, staff member of Natural Resources Committee. ... See more
