Mississippi would get 310 acres of federal forest land for public use
A state agency in Mississippi would get about 310 acres of federal forest land for public use. The U.S. Department of Agriculture would sell this land in Franklin County to the Scenic Rivers Development Alliance. The Alliance would pay fair market value and take on responsibility for the Okhissa Lake Dam.
Today, about 310.7 acres of land in Franklin County, Mississippi, are part of the National Forest System and managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. If this bill passes, the Secretary of Agriculture would sell the surface rights of this land to the Scenic Rivers Development Alliance, a state agency, for public recreation and wildlife habitat. The Alliance would then be responsible for maintaining the Okhissa Lake Dam and its safety.
