H.R. 3937: Wabeno Economic Development Act
Sponsor

Republican · WI-7
What H.R. 3937 does
H.R. 3937, the Wabeno Economic Development Act, would require the Forest Service to sell about 14 acres in Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, including the mineral rights, to Tony's Wabeno Redi-Mix, LLC. The sale would happen once the company makes an offer at market value, within 180 days after the Forest Service approves an appraisal, and the company would pay that value and the associated costs.
The bill would also require the Department of the Interior to publish a review of the federal permitting processes for developing stone, sand and gravel on federal lands.
