General Management Plan for the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park
Project Description > Greenways Incorporated is assisting the National Park Service in facilitating a foundation workshop and developing a public input strategy for the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.

It deal with issues such as boundary changes, new facilities, landscape management, etc. In short, any major decision should be addressed in the GMP.
The GMP should take two to three years. There will be multiple opportunities for public input. Progress reports will be posted on the park’s web site: www.nps.gov/frsp
