To grant to Crook County, Oregon, a right-of-way for the construction of a new road in Juniper Canyon, and for other purposes.
This bill grants Crook County, Oregon, a permanent 80-foot right-of-way and conveys four 40-acre parcels of federal land to the county for road construction and wildfire safety. The transferred land must be maintained as fire-safe zones to support emergency response and firefighter safety, with ownership reverting to the federal government if these conditions are not met. While the county will cover all costs associated with the land transfer, the legislation does not provide any funding for the actual construction of the new road.
