Perry County could get Forest Service land

If enacted, Perry County would be able to get about 0.81 acres of Forest Service land at 1069 Fourche Avenue in Perryville. The County would need to request the land in writing within 180 days after enactment. Exact acreage would be set by a survey approved by the Secretary. The transfer would be free of a purchase price and by quitclaim deed. The County would pay all costs for any survey, environmental reviews, and National Historic Preservation Act analysis. The land would have to be used only for public purposes, such as education and youth programs. If that use stops, the land would revert to the United States at the Secretary’s discretion. The deed would include no CERCLA cleanup warranty and would be subject to valid existing rights and any other terms the Secretary would set.
