Pullman Joint General Management Plan and Environmental Assessment Available
The National Park Service (NPS) and Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) are pleased to announce the release of the final Joint General Management Plan (JGMP) and Environmental Assessment for Pullman National Historical Park and Pullman State Historic Site.
The plan establishes a long-term management philosophy and decision-making framework for the co-located sites. The JGMP incorporates desired conditions and management actions for the Car Works Factory Site and Hotel Florence, as well as strategies for supporting partner organizations in restoring, maintaining, and providing interpretation and visitor services at historic locations within the Historical Park boundary.
The JGMP was drafted by an NPS-IDNR team over a two-year planning process that included consultation with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, stakeholders, residents, and other interested parties. The planning process included development of an Environmental Assessment for National Park Service management actions prescribed by the JGMP. The National Park Service concluded that no significant environmental impacts are expected to result from implementation of the JGMP and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) document was signed on November 24, 2023. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources will engage in compliance for future management actions specific to the Pullman State Historic Site.
The final Joint General Management Plan, Environmental Assessment, and FONSI are available on the National Park Service website at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/ PULL_JGMP_FONSI
