H.R. 6365
Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act
The bill would require the Department of the Interior to grant a right-of-way through the Blue Ridge Parkway to create an emergency exit route from Wintergreen, Virginia, but only after the agency completes several studies. These include evaluating alternative exit routes that don't cross federal land, analyzing how fire behavior might affect the area, and conducting required environmental and historic preservation reviews.[AI-Generated]
