The primary purpose of a management plan is to outline the goals and strategies that KMTA officials will use to administer the heritage area but this plan does much more than that. It also contains a thorough analysis of the historical themes that make KMTA special, and a comprehensive inventory of all the cultural and natural resources within its boundaries.
NHA MANAGEMENT PLAN INCLUDES:
- Input from local communities on projects and programs.
- An inventory of heritage area resources.
- Recommendations for coordination with federal, state, tribal and local entities.
- A business plan including partnerships necessary to implement the plan.
- This document sets out the goals and priorities of the KMTA National Heritage Area.
The KMTA Management Plan was approved by the Secretary of the Interior following
nearly two years of public meetings, public comment, and inputs from communities
and government entities within the KMTA National Heritage Area.
