Carson City Public Land Correction Act
Bill targets Carson City land transfer: 1,288 acres to city, 360 acres sold to fund projects
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill gives Carson City about 1,288 acres of federal land for free, but the city must use it for public needs like parks, outdoor recreation, and flood control.
- It also gives the city a tiny piece of land (about half an acre) to widen a road, and the city must build a crosswalk within 90 days so people can still safely reach a nearby U.S. Forest Service office.
- The city has to pay the costs to complete these land transfers, like surveys and paperwork, and if the city stops using the land for the promised public purposes, the federal government can take it back.
- The federal government would sell about 360 acres of other federal land near Carson City to bidders, with the buyer covering sale-related costs; the city keeps certain rights for water lines and drainage.
- Money from the land sales goes into a special Carson City account to fund things like wildfire prevention, wildlife habitat work, protecting sensitive land, improvements on public lands, and some educational uses.
