Permanent record

Administration considered a Yosemite land exchange for private development access

Event date
Category
Public lands and development
Posture:
Proposal under consideration — no completed transfer

Reporting and documents described a proposal to exchange an interest in a strip of Yosemite National Park for other land so a private developer could build a road from an adjacent planned development to an interior park road. The Interior Department said no final decision had been made and any transaction would have to follow federal law, environmental review and public-notice requirements. This is a documented proposal, not a completed sale of Yosemite land.
