The Forest Service relies upon legislation known as FSFREA for authority to sell its high-dollar real estate on North Cache for commercial development. But this project abuses Congressional intent and agency policy for FSFREA.
Our latest letters to decision-makers explain this FSFREA abuse:
- Congress only intended that FSFREA be used to sell “excess and unneeded land and facilities.” NFS – letter 1-1-10.
- Agency policy limits FSFREA sales to those with “support from public.” NFS – letter 1-18-10.
This abuse of FSFREA–auctioning off our valuable public asset in downtown Jackson–risks loosing the authority for future legitimate uses.
