We aim to allow the Secretary of the Interior to partner with the Gateway Arch Park Foundation to host private events in park buildings, ensuring these activities respect the park’s purpose and public access while helping cover maintenance costs. This helps support the park’s preservation and enriches community engagement in a controlled, responsible way.
