Wisconsin's Black River State Forest would gain land through a federal property exchange.
This bill would let Wisconsin swap land with a private business, Deli, Inc., in Millston. The federal government would give up its claim on about 31.83 acres of state forest land. This exchange would add about 37.27 acres to the Black River State Forest, making it larger overall.
Today, the federal government has a permanent claim on about 31.83 acres of land in Wisconsin's Black River State Forest, preventing the state from trading it. If this bill passes, that federal claim would be removed, allowing Wisconsin to swap that land with Deli, Inc. In return, the state would get about 37.27 acres from Deli, Inc., making the state forest larger by about 5.44 acres.
