Rename the outdoor amphitheater at Blue Ridge Music Center in Virginia after Rick Boucher.
The problem
The amphitheater at Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax, Virginia lacks a formal name honoring notable community figures or cultural contributors.
The proposal
Officially designate the outdoor amphitheater at the Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax, Virginia as the Rick Boucher Amphitheater.
The impact
The amphitheater will be renamed to honor Rick Boucher. This affects the Blue Ridge Music Center, visitors, and the local Galax community.
Names the amphitheater after someone connected to music or the arts in the region. This recognizes their efforts to support cultural activities. It gives visitors and performers a meaningful venue name.
This is a naming designation only. It does not require spending public money or creating new programs. The amphitheater already exists and operates normally.
Highlights the Blue Ridge Music Center and Galax's cultural importance. This could boost tourism and community pride. The official name may draw more visitors to the venue.
This bill only changes a name on a building. It does not address major policy problems or create new programs. Congress time could focus on larger issues.
The bill provides no explanation of why Rick Boucher deserves this honor. Without context, voters cannot judge if this is appropriate or justified.
The bill does not indicate if the local community, music center, or Galax residents requested this naming. Community support for such honors is typically sought first.

Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported.
