Trump Signs Land Exchange Bill

President Donald Trump signed the Mt. Hood Cooper Spur Land Exchange Clarification Act on Tuesday.  It directs the Forest Service to complete a land exchange that Congress approved in 2009 to allow development of 120 acres of federal land in Government Camp in exchange for the protection of 770 acres of non-federal land at Cooper Spur, along with addressing disagreements over a conservation easement and allowing for a more transparent appraisal process.  Oregon Second District Congressman Greg Walden co-authored the bill with Representative Earl Blumenauer and Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.  The House passed this legislation in February of 2017 by a vote of 415-1, and the Senate passed the bill in December.
