LAS VEGAS -- The Bureau of Land Management conducted a competitive online sale yesterday, offering 16 parcels of public land in the Las Vegas Valley for sale, totaling 670.155 acres. Nine parcels totaling 589.53 acres sold generating $93,141,000. The sale of this public land within a congressionally-designated disposal boundary will generate funding to enhance recreation opportunities, promote species and habitat conservation and reduce the threat of wildfire in locations across the state.
The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act of 1998 allows the BLM to sell public land within a specific boundary within the Las Vegas Valley. In accordance with the law, 85 percent of the funds generated from the sale will fund projects such as development of parks, trails, and natural areas; capital improvements on federal lands; acquisition of environmentally sensitive land; hazardous fuels reduction; and landscape restoration projects. Additionally, 5 percent of the revenue will go to the State of Nevada General Education Fund and 10 percent will go to the Southern Nevada Water Authority.
The sale offered parcels located throughout the Las Vegas Valley that ranged from two to 505 acres in size. Local governments nominated the parcels for sale, often after interested parties expressed interest in purchasing them. BLM removed a 225-acre parcel from the sale, due to an appraisal issue. This parcel will be included in a future sale.
