Arizona County Gets Chance to Buy Federal Land for a Solar Project

Key Points

  • Trump signs a law that lets La Paz County, Arizona buy about 3,400 acres of federal land at market price.
  • The land transfer is meant to support a solar energy project and create local jobs in the area.
  • If the county buys it, the land would no longer be managed by the federal government, and local leaders would have more control over how it’s used.
  • This could bring construction work and longer-term jobs, but it may also raise local debates about land use, wildlife, and water needs.
