WASHINGTON D.C. â U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson (LA-04) and Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) introduced the Save the Liberty Theatre Act on Thursday, which will require the National Park Service to transfer its partial ownership of the Liberty Theatre to the City of Eunice.
According to a release from Johnson s office, the NPS owns a section of the historic venue that was constructed in recent years to provide a handicap accessible entrance.
However, efforts to restore the theatre are currently hindered by the NPSâs ownership interest in the property, the release states. This legislation would grant full ownership of the theatre to the City of Eunice.
