La Paz County, Arizona, would get 3,400 acres of federal land for solar energy and jobs.
This bill would let La Paz County, Arizona, buy about 3,400 acres of federal land. The county could use this land for solar energy projects and to create jobs, but must protect Tribal cultural artifacts. This changes how this specific federal land is managed, moving it from federal control to local county ownership and ending mining access.
Today, about 3,400 acres of federal land in La Paz County, Arizona, are managed by the Bureau of Land Management and are open to mining. After this bill, the Secretary of the Interior would sell this land to La Paz County for development, and it would no longer be open to mining or mineral leasing.
