[QUOTE="Allen, post: 457251, member: 389"] If you listen to Dougy, he would like one to believe he's only interested in getting rid of parcels of land similar to this piece of ND State Trust Lands: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1750443105038.png"]77011[/ATTACH] To be sure, this is a publicly owned piece of land that was targeted not so long ago by developers, but if I remember correctly...the "BISMARCK" trees have a while to go on a 99 year (?) easement. The easement is a major obstacle, if the news reports were true, to whoever wanted to develop the land. In my opinion, this is an opportunity for economic development that could be done with benefits for all. 1. This section could be sold at an appropriate amount as commercial/residential development with perhaps a few acres held back for a park or ?? associated with the trees. 2. The proceeds from that sale MUST be used to purchase an equivalent number of acres elsewhere in the county that would be brought into the public domain (preferably as State Trust Lands). 3. Any remaining monies would be deposited into the appropriate State Trust Lands account(s). Win/Win for everyone. That being said, there is no way I believe Doug in that there are the number of acres in this proposal in a similar position associated with major communities across those 4 states. [/QUOTE]
