Key Points

  • The bill orders the U.S. Forest Service to give a small piece of its land in Perryville, Arkansas to Perry County if the county asks for it within about 6 months.
  • The land is less than one acre at 1069 Fourche Avenue in Perryville, and would fully belong to the county once the transfer is done.
  • Perry County must cover all costs tied to the transfer, like land surveys and environmental or historic reviews that federal rules might require.
  • The land has to be used for public purposes, such as programs for schools, kids, or community services, not for private business or housing.
  • If the county ever stops using the land for public purposes, the federal government can take the property back.
