Riepilogo

Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations and National Park Service policy, the National Park Service (NPS) announces the availability of the Decision Notice and FONSI for the Rehabilitation of the Yellow Barn and Chautauqua Tower at Glen Echo Park, a unit of the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP). The Decision Notice and FONSI identifies Alternative C as selected by the NPS for action. It is the preferred and environmentally preferred alternative in the Environmental Assessment. Under this alternative, most of the existing Yellow Barn structure located in Glen Echo Park, Glen Echo, Maryland would be demolished, (an exterior stone wall from the Chautauqua era would be retained), and a new structure built in the same location. The Chautauqua Tower, including stairs, will be stabilized and rehabilitated. This project will provide and maximize useful, efficient program space; address and correct Life and Safety Code deficiencies, as well as address and correct accessibility deficiencies.
