Lackawanna Valley National Heritage Area Management Action Plan and EIS

After 10 years as a successful state heritage area, the National Park Service designated the Lackawanna Valley as a National Heritage Area. KSK lead a team to prepare the required Management Action Plan and EIS. This project includes 1.) an interpretive plan that tells the story of how anthracite coal, with 80% of the world’s supply located in Northeastern Pennsylvania, changed the economic and social history of the United States and 2.) an assessment of the environmental impacts of the area’s designation as a National Heritage Area.
