Advance the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act to preserve 400,000 acres of Colorado public lands, invest in the outdoor recreation economy, and designate Camp Hale as a National Historic Landscape.
Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act: This legislation works to preserve 400,000 acres of Colorado's public lands, invest in the state's outdoor recreation economy and honor Colorado's military legacy through the designation of Camp Hale as a National Historic Landscape.
Neguse presents the CORE Act as legislation to protect Colorado public lands, support outdoor recreation, and designate Camp Hale as a historic landscape.
Congressman Joe Neguse's Colorado Outdoor Recreation & Economy (CORE) Act protects over 400,000 acres of public land in Colorado, establishing new wilderness areas and safeguarding existing outdoor recreation opportunities to boost the economy for future generations.
Neguse's official priorities page describes his CORE Act as a legislative commitment to protect more than 400,000 acres of Colorado public land, create wilderness areas, safeguard recreation, and support the outdoor economy.
Congressman Neguse is the lead sponsor on multiple landmark bills to protect public lands and waters in Colorado and across the United States: Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy (CORE) Act
Neguse’s official priorities page says he is lead sponsor of the CORE Act as part of his work to protect public lands and waters.
The bill designated approximately 28,676 acres as the Camp Hale National Historic Landscape and authorized $10,000,000 for preservation and restoration.
Bill text matches key promise components: Camp Hale historic landscape designation, recreation management, conservation, restoration, and investment funding.
The fact sheet says the monument supports jobs and outdoor recreation, and agencies proposed protecting approximately 225,000 Thompson Divide acres.
Executive action addressed outdoor recreation and additional land protection, but it was narrower than full CORE Act enactment and initially proposed a Thompson Divide withdrawal process.
