YourVoice.Now Summary
Renames a Blue Ridge Parkway amphitheater for former Rep. Rick Boucher — nothing else about visiting changes.
The details
Most people would notice no change in daily life. This is a naming bill. The outdoor amphitheater at the Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax, Virginia would be renamed the "Rick Boucher Amphitheater". The venue sits at 700 Foothills Road, along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Parkway is run by the National Park Service. Rick Boucher represented southwest Virginia in the House from 1983 to 2011. Nothing else about the site would change. The bill does not touch hours, fees, funding, or who can visit. Federal maps, laws, and records would simply use the new name. It has cleared committee and awaits a Senate vote.
