Resource Center (formerly the City 

National Bank Building) is owned and 

operated by the National First Ladies’

Library, and is part of the visitor 

experience at the park. The park was 

established to preserve and interpret the 

role and history of FILA. 

The purpose of the general 

management plan is to set forth the 

basic management philosophy for the 

park and to provide strategies for 

addressing issues and achieving 

identified management objectives. The 

GMP/EIS describes and analyzes the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and two other action alternatives

the park. A no-action alternative is also 

evaluated.

address from the record, which we will 

honor to the extent allowable by law. 

There may also be circumstances where 

we would withhold from the record a 

respondent’s identity, as allowable by 

law. If you wish us to withhold your 

name and/or address, you must state 

this prominently at the beginning of 

your comment. However, we will not 

consider anonymous comments. We

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available
