United StatesLand swap would allow lifting recreation limits on Indiana property
Indiana would need to receive about 100 acres restricted to recreation before a federal secretary could lift recreation limits on about 80 acres transferred to a reuse authority.
What it does
A federal secretary could lift recreation-only limits on about 80 acres if Indiana and the reuse authority swap land and reserve the roughly 100 acres Indiana receives for recreation.
Argument forThe swap could give the reuse authority more flexibility to use former park land while reserving the land Indiana receives for recreation.
Argument againstLifting the recreation requirement could allow other uses of the former park land, removing protection for recreation at that specific site.
More detail
A federal secretary would have permission to release the legal restriction requiring the former park land to serve recreational purposes. The exchange covers land held by Indiana and the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant Reuse Authority. Indiana must convey about 80 acres of former park land to the reuse authority. The authority must convey about 100 acres of former industrial land to Indiana, with a binding legal restriction limiting its use to recreation. The secretary could choose whether to release the restriction on the 80 acres.
