Who killed the electric map?

I just found out today that Gettysburg National Military Park has disassembled and is in the process of replacing the battle ground electric map. You can read details about the map here, but in short it is a large model of the battlefield landscape with light bulbs, each controlled to turn on and off to show troop movements and activities during the battle.
