This bill will attract new economic opportunities for the Gateway Arch, the enduring landmark of the greater St. Louis region and our great State of Missouri. Thanks to the tremendous investment from community organizations, the renovated Arch Visitor Center has seen a revitalized demand for event space, and this legislation builds on that public-private partnership to ensure the Arch is more easily accessible for constituent groups in my district and those visiting from across the nation,\u201d said Congresswoman Ann Wagner.\n\n\u201cWith the monumental renovations that have taken place at Gateway Arch National Park following the completion of the CityArchRiver project in 2018, the Arch Visitor Center is much more conducive for holding private events. These dynamic new spaces in the visitor center are ideal for holding social gatherings and other events that will leave a lasting impression of St. Louis\u2019 defining monument. This common-sense legislation will streamline management of private event execution and marketing on behalf of the park and is a net-positive for the city of St. Louis,\u201d said Senator Eric Schmitt.\n\nBACKGROUND:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:36:13Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://wagner.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congresswoman-wagner-senator-schmitt-introduce-gateway-partnership-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4113932847976685, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
