ANDERSONVILLE, GA (WALB) -
Sequester cuts are threatening many areas of government, even national parks. The Andersonville National Historic Site is feeling some of the squeeze caused by sequestration.
The 500 acre park is facing a 5% cut, which will impact how it maintains the 200 acres of cleared land. But the park supervisors have said visitors should not notice the any significant changes.
"Together with our partners and our volunteers, I'm optimistic and confident that we will continue to provide exceptional service to the American public," said Brad Bennett, Andersonville National Historic Site Superintendent.
Bennett says the park will be unable to fill two open positions because of a national park hiring freeze, which means the grass will be cut less often in the park.
He also says the grass will be cut less often in the park, but maintenance operations will shift to more frequently visited areas to minimize the impact on the public.
