Land Trade Mechanics

  • 3 parcels of land that School and Public lands now owns and
  • ne parcel that GFP owns are part of proposed land.
  • The constitution requires that school and public lands be

made whole.

  • Currently, the parcels produce less than $6,000 in combined

annual leasing revenue.

  • An appraisal of the parcels is yet to be conducted as part of

the proposed land exchange.

  • Could generate 10 times more money for education.
