Key points
  • Conveys two parcels, about 1.69 acres and 5.74 acres, to the State of Mississippi by quitclaim deed without payment.
  • Excludes the conveyed land from the boundary of Vicksburg National Military Park.
  • Requires the state to use the land to improve public access and the visitor experience at the park, in a way the Interior Secretary considers consistent with the park's mission and without harming park resources, and lets the Secretary set use restrictions.
