# §450jj–7. Development and management plan for East Saint Louis, Illinois, portion of Memorial

- (a) Within two years from August 24, 1984, the [Commission](/usc/16/544.md?p=c) shall develop and transmit to the [Secretary](/usc/16/410r–5.md?p=c-1) a development and [management plan](/usc/16/544.md?p=k) for the East Saint Louis, Illinois, portion of the [Memorial](/usc/16/450ss–1.md?p=2). The plan shall include—
  - (1) measures for the preservation of the [area](/usc/16/539m–1.md?p=1-A)’s resources;
  - (2) indications of types and general intensities of development (including visitor circulation and transportation patterns, systems, and modes) associated with public enjoyment and use of the [area](/usc/16/539m–1.md?p=1-A), including general locations, timing of implementation, and cost estimates;
  - (3) identification of any implementation commitments for visitor carrying capacities for all [areas](/usc/16/539m–1.md?p=1-A) of the [area](/usc/16/539m–1.md?p=1-A);
  - (4) indications of potential modifications to the external boundaries of the [area](/usc/16/539m–1.md?p=1-A), the reasons therefore,[^1] and cost estimates;
  - (5) measures and commitments for insuring that the development, management, and operation of the [area](/usc/16/539m–1.md?p=1-A) in the [State](/usc/16/590q.md?p=a) of Illinois are compatible with the portion of the [Memorial](/usc/16/450ss–1.md?p=2) in the [State](/usc/16/590q.md?p=a) of Missouri;
  - (6) opportunities and commitments for cooperative activities in the development, management, and operation of the East Saint Louis portion of the [Memorial](/usc/16/450ss–1.md?p=2) with other Federal, [State](/usc/16/590q.md?p=a), and local agencies, and the private sector; and
  - (7) effective and appropriate ways to increase local participation in the management of the East Saint Louis portion of the [Memorial](/usc/16/450ss–1.md?p=2) to help reduce the day-to-day operational and management responsibilities of the National [Park](/usc/16/410r–5.md?p=c-3) Service and to increase opportunities for local employment.
- (b) The plan shall also identify and include—
  - (1) needs, opportunities, and commitments for the aesthetic and economic rehabilitation of the entire East Saint Louis, Illinois, waterfront and adjacent [areas](/usc/16/539m–1.md?p=1-A), in a manner compatible with and complementary to, the [Memorial](/usc/16/450ss–1.md?p=2), including the appropriate commitments and roles of the Federal, [State](/usc/16/590q.md?p=a), and local governments and the private sector; and
  - (2) cost estimates and recommendations for Federal, [State](/usc/16/590q.md?p=a), and local administrative and legislative actions.

  In carrying out its duties under this section, the [Commission](/usc/16/544.md?p=c) shall [take](/usc/16/3102.md?p=18) into account Federal, [State](/usc/16/590q.md?p=a), and local plans and studies respecting the [area](/usc/16/539m–1.md?p=1-A), including the study by the National [Park](/usc/16/410r–5.md?p=c-3) Service on the feasibility of a museum of American ethnic culture to be a part of any development plans for the [Memorial](/usc/16/450ss–1.md?p=2).
