HR 1276 would direct the Secretary of the Interior to remove all legal restrictions attached to a 3.62-acre parcel at 2956 Park Avenue in Paducah, Kentucky. The land was transferred from the federal government to the City of Paducah in 2012 as part of the Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center. Those original deed conditions limit how the city can use, sell, or develop the property.
This bill directly affects the City of Paducah and residents of that area. Local officials would gain full control over the property once federal restrictions are lifted.
Removing the restrictions would give the City of Paducah the flexibility to sell, develop, or repurpose the land without following the federal conditions set in 2012. The bill is described as a routine measure to clarify local ownership of land previously transferred from the federal government.
