The House Natural Resources Committee will hear a bill Thursday morning that could shift ownership of Pearson Air Museum from the National Park Service to the city of Vancouver.
HR 716 was introduced Feb. 14 by U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas. It would transfer 7 acres from the Park Service so the museum can reopen under management by the Fort Vancouver National Trust, which had operated the museum for the city since 2005.
