The Private Events Bill
Private events allowed in Gateway Arch park buildings
Gateway Partnership Act
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would let the Interior Secretary sign a deal so private groups can hold events inside the Gateway Arch park buildings, possibly limiting public use.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, visitors may see fewer free events and more private parties, while the foundation could earn money; now is the time to speak up if you want the park to stay public.
