Mike Kelly (R-PA). The bill reauthorizes the Oil Region National Heritage Area, located in Crawford and Venango counties, along with the 44 other National Heritage Areas (NHA) set to expire by 2024 for another 15 years, ensuring long-term security for these sites and the communities they benefit. This year, the bill was passed in the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee, meaning that for the first time, there is a bipartisan Senate agreement on a long-term NHA reauthorization. The bill now goes to President Biden for his signature. "This is a big win for the Titusville area, which is so rich in history and tradition," Rep. Kelly said. "Cultural heritage tourism adds more than $192 billion to the U.S. economy every year, including at the Oil Region National Heritage Area in eastern Crawford County. I'm thankful we could get this critical piece of legislation over the finish line." BACKGROUND | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
