The National Park Service (NPS) held the second in its series of public meetings on the creation of a Manhattan Project National Historical Park in Oak Ridge, TN, on January 26. Over 140 people attended the meeting. All who spoke favored the creation of a national park at Oak Ridge. The meeting was not a public hearing and NPS reminded all who attended that only written comments could be officially considered in the preparation of the final park study. If you would like to submit a written comment, please visit the NPS website on the draft study. The comment period will be open until March 1, 2010.
