A bill to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to convey certain National Forest System land located in Franklin County, Mississippi, and for other purposes.
This bill (S 2440) directs the Secretary of Agriculture to transfer approximately 310 acres of federal land in Franklin County, Mississippi (divided into two parcels totaling 137.7 and 173 acres) to the Scenic Rivers Development Alliance. The transfer would occur via quitclaim deed after the Alliance submits a written request, pays fair market value (determined by a government-approved appraisal), and covers related costs. Proceeds from the sale would be deposited into the Sisk Act fund. The bill specifically affects the Alliance as the recipient and the federal government as the landowner, with no policy changes beyond this land transfer.
