Wabeno Economic Development Act

HR 7001, the Wabeno Economic Development Act, directs the Secretary of Agriculture to convey approximately 14 acres of National Forest System land in Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest to Tony’s Wabeno Redi-Mix, LLC if the company submits a market-value offer within 180 days of an approved appraisal. The conveyance requires the company to pay the appraised market value plus all associated costs (survey, appraisal, environmental analysis) and is made via quitclaim deed, subject to existing rights. The bill also limits the government’s environmental liability, requiring only disclosure of hazardous materials under CERCLA but not remediation. This bill directly affects the company and the specific parcel of land, with no broader policy changes beyond this land transfer.
