Greeley Land Exchange Act

This bill would set up a land swap between the city of Greeley, Colorado, and the U.S. Forest Service. If the city offers about 40 acres of its land (not including its water rights), the Forest Service would give the city about 78 acres of National Forest land within 3 years, while keeping permanent easements for public non-motorized access on two trails and for government access. The values of the lands would be set by independent appraisals; if the federal land is worth more, the city would make up the difference with up to 40 more acres, cash, or both, and if the city's land is worth more, the extra value would count as a donation. The city would pay all costs of the exchange, and land the United States receives would become part of the Roosevelt National Forest or, where it lies within their boundaries, the Cache la Poudre Wilderness or Wild and Scenic River.
