The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 92), to designate the outdoor amphitheater at
the Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax, Virginia, as the Rick Bou-
cher Amphitheater, having considered the same, reports favorably
thereon without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 92 is to designate the outdoor amphitheater at
the Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax, Virginia, as the Rick Bou-
cher Amphitheater.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
Former Representative Rick Boucher represented Southwest Vir-
ginia's Ninth Congressional District in the House of Representa-
tives from 1983 to 2011. Rep. Boucher was an early supporter of
the development of the Blue Ridge Music Center and continued to
support the project throughout his tenure. The Blue Ridge Music
Center, first established by Congress in 1985, is located in Galax,
Virginia, within the Blue Ridge Parkway, a unit of the National
Park System. The Blue Ridge Music Center is home to a visitor
center, outdoor amphitheater, indoor interpretive center, and mu-
seum that highlights the historical significance of the region's mu-
sical culture.
S. 92 would designate the outdoor amphitheater as the Rick
Boucher Amphitheater in honor of Representative Boucher.
