Rep. Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) plans to introduce a land-swap bill that would transfer 25 acres from Harpers Ferry National Park to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) campus, which hosts the Advanced Training Center. This exchange is intended to facilitate the expansion of training facilities to accommodate new personnel following funding provisions from H.R. 1, which earmarks resources for the hiring of 18,000 agents. Both the Departments of the Interior and Homeland Security have reportedly agreed to this swap, as detailed by sources from Moore's communications team. This legislative move potentially impacts the ecological landscape near towns like Harpers Ferry and Ranson while responding to federal security needs.
