Key Points

  • This bill asks the Department of the Interior to remove all federal restrictions on a 3.62-acre piece of land in Paducah, Kentucky.
  • The property is located at the old Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center and was given to the city by the federal government in 2012.
  • Right now, the city is limited by rules in the original deed that control how the land can be used or changed.
  • Removing these restrictions would give the city of Paducah full ownership and the freedom to develop or sell the property as they see fit.
