  • Information(PEPC) Planning, Environment & Public CommentOpen for comment - The goal of this project is to demolish four extraneous structures at the Wright (Guinn) Farm and the Bishop Farm. The GAOA was implemented to reduce as many excess resources as possible to ensure limited funding can be directed to the most significant resources that are fundamental to the Park's mission. Significant resources include buildings in Major Battle Action Areas that provided cover and concealment or created obstacles during the Battle of Gettysburg.
