Key Points
This bill would require the Agriculture Department to give Gila County, Arizona a Forest Service administrative site if the county asks within 180 days of the law taking effect.
The land is about 232.9 acres in the Tonto National Forest and includes existing buildings and other improvements on the property.
Gila County would get the property for free, but it must pay all the costs to complete the transfer, like surveys and required environmental and historic reviews.
The federal government would not promise the land is free of environmental problems, so the county takes it “as is” with fewer guarantees.
The county can only use the land to serve and support military veterans; if it’s used for something else, the land can be taken back by the United States.
