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.
