Explanation
(This amendment provides $100,000 each year from the general fund to support the ongoing operations of the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation. The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District is the only congressionally-designated national heritage area located in Virginia. This national historic district encompasses 14 civil war battlefields and more than 30 museums in an eight-county region which includes the cities of Harrisonburg, Staunton, Waynesboro, and Winchester as well as the counties of Augusta, Clarke, Frederick, Highland, Page, Rockingham, Shenandoah, and Warren. It should be noted that the foundation also receives federal appropriations that are used in the development of services for visitors.)
