Key Points

  • This bill removes old federal rules on a small piece of land in Paducah, Kentucky. The land used to be an Army Reserve Center but was given to the city several years ago.
  • The change allows the City of Paducah to give or sell the property to the Oscar Cross Boys and Girls Club. Right now, federal restrictions prevent the city from transferring the land to this group.
  • Even though the rules are changing, the land must still be used for things like public recreation or community services. It cannot be turned into a private business or used for other non-public purposes.
  • If the Boys and Girls Club ever decides to move or stop using the land in the future, they must first offer to give it back to the federal government for free before they can try to sell it to anyone else.
