To require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey the Pleasant Valley Ranger District Administrative Site to Gila County, Arizona.
Arizona Land Transfer: Pleasant Valley Ranger Site to Gila County for Veterans Services
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress would require the Agriculture Department to transfer about 232.9 acres in the Tonto National Forest to Gila County, Arizona.
- Gila County must request the land within 180 days after the law is enacted, and the transfer would be done for free (no purchase price).
- The county would have to pay all transfer costs, including surveying, environmental reviews, and historic preservation checks.
- The land could only be used for programs that serve and support U.S. military veterans; using it for other purposes could trigger the land returning to the federal government.
- The federal government would transfer the property “as is,” without guaranteeing it is free of environmental problems or other issues.
