History
Independence National Historical Park (INDE) was authorized by an act of Congress on June 28, 1948, and was formally established on July 4, 1956, "preserving for the benefit of the American people as a national historical park certain historical structures and properties of outstanding and national significance…associated with the American Revolution and the founding and growth of the United States." Located in the Society Hill, Old City, and Germantown neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Independence National Historical Park encompasses not only such famous sites and artifacts as Independence Hall, Congress Hall, and the Liberty Bell, but over twenty other structures, gardens, squares, and cemeteries.
The Independence National Historical Park General Management Plan (GMP) is a guide to the long-term management of the park. The GMP was begun in 1993 and consists of three documents: the Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (1995), the Abbreviated Final General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (1997) and the General Management Plan (1997).
The GMP was developed by an interdisciplinary planning team composed of park staff, state and local government officials, and a number of stakeholder organizations with an interest in the future of the park. Park service officials on the planning team included Park Superintendent Martha Aikens; Assistant Superintendent Dennis Reidenbach; and Mid-Atlantic Regional Office staff members David Hollenberg, Associate Regional Director for Design, Construction, and Facility Management; and Deirdre Gibson, Program Manager for Park Planning and Special Resource Studies. The general public contributed to the creation of the GMP through public meetings, workshops, and surveys organized by Deirdre Gibson and the Public Affairs Office.
In early 1995, the park identified six distinct, potential plans to be incorporated into the GMP. That same year, the park publicized its preference for "Alternative E" in the Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement. After much public debate, the park suggested a revised preferred alternative, "Alternative E-1." As part of its plan for the park, Alternative E-1 proposed to redevelop the three blocks comprising Independence Mall to include four new buildings – the Gateway Visitor Center, the Liberty Bell Center, the National Constitution Center, and the Independence Park Institute – as well as relocated restrooms and a café on the Mall.
In February 1997, the park published the Abbreviated General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement, and later that year released the final General Management Plan. Using the new GMP as a guide, the park and its stakeholders moved forward to the next major step: redeveloping Independence Mall.
