U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-1, have introduced companion bills in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, aimed at increasing the number of acres the historic site encompasses.
If all goes according to plan, it would more than double the area of the park — from 250 acres to 525 acres.
Legislation is required to expand the authorized boundary and remove the 250-acre ceiling established by Congress in 1958.
Isakson and Carter say the move would allow more historical artifacts and land to be preserved.
“Expanding the boundary of Georgia’s historic Fort Frederica National Monument will add to the historical significance of the monument,” Isakson said.
“I am proud to introduce this legislation with Congressman Buddy Carter in order to ensure that all of the historical elements of the monument are preserved for visitors and Georgians alike for decades to come.”
Carter echoed those sentiments.
