LAS VEGAS – The Bureau of Land Management Las Vegas Field Office today announced it is seeking public comment on a proposal to lease approximately 15 acres of public land to Clark County for a public park and related facilities. The park is proposed near the intersection of Wigwam Avenue and Torrey Pines Drive in the southwest area of the Las Vegas Valley, and would include covered play structures, restrooms, parking, picnic pavilions, open turf areas, walking path, basketball courts, landscaping, lighting signage, and other ancillary amenities.
The Notice of Realty Action for a Recreation and Public Purposes Act (R&PP) Classification was published in today’s Federal Register. Interested parties may submit comments regarding the proposed decision for the R&PP application and plan of development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision to lease and convey under the R&PP Act, or any other factor not directly related to the suitability of the land for R&PP use.
The 45-day public comment period will begin today and end May 23, 2016. Written comments may be mailed to the BLM Las Vegas Field Office Manager, Bureau of Land Management, 4701 N.
