Trump Admin Eyes Yosemite Parcel Swap for Private Developer

The Trump administration proposed transferring a small parcel inside Yosemite National Park to a private Las Vegas–based developer to build a road and two 40-acre parcels near the park. The plan isn’t finalized and has drawn opposition from conservationists and former Park Service officials who say Yosemite, the crown jewel of the national park system, should remain undeveloped. The details come from documents reviewed by The New York Times, with initial reporting by NOTUS, and were submitted to Congress this year.

"Minnesota's Largest Candy Store Relocates to Become World's Largest"

Minnesota's Largest Candy Store, located near Jordan, is set to move to a new location due to a new interchange at Highway 169 and Delaware Avenue closing access to the current store. The new store will be two and a half times the size of the current one and will still be a big yellow barn. The relocation will take about 3 years, and the current building will be demolished to convert the property back into wetlands.

"Minnesota's Largest Candy Store Relocating for Expansion"

Minnesota's Largest Candy Store, a landmark near Jordan for nearly 50 years, is set to move to a new location due to a new interchange at Highway 169 and Delaware Avenue that would have hindered access to the store. The owner, Robert Wagner, will be relocating the store to a new site across Highway 169, which will be 2.5 times larger and connected to city services. The current store will remain open during the construction of the new one, which is expected to take about 3 years.

"Delays and Opposition: Texas Parks Department Considers Land Swap with SpaceX for 'Starbase, Texas'"

Texas Parks and Wildlife commissioners are considering a land swap with SpaceX, where SpaceX would receive 43 acres from Boca Chica State Park in exchange for 477 acres nearby. The proposal aims to increase public access and protect grasslands and wetlands, but faces opposition from environmental groups and community members concerned about the impact on the local area and wildlife. The vote on the proposal is expected on March 28, with concerns raised about the potential harm to endangered species and the impact on the local community.

Biden administration reverses decision on Alaskan land deal, withdraws approval for road through wildlife refuge.

Biden administration reverses decision on Alaskan land deal, withdraws approval for road through wildlife refuge.

The Biden administration has reversed a Trump-era land swap deal that would have facilitated the construction of a road in an Alaska wilderness area opposed by environmental groups. The proposed road would have cut through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, threatening the wilderness and wildlife habitat of the refuge. Proponents of the project argued it was required to ensure mostly-Indigenous residents have greater access to emergency services. The Department of the Interior withdrew the land exchange, citing procedural flaws and inconsistency with agency policy, and will initiate another environmental analysis of the proposal as part of President Biden’s conservation agenda.

Biden administration cancels controversial Alaskan land deal.

The Biden administration has withdrawn a land swap deal that would have allowed for the construction of a road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, reversing the Trump administration's position. The move is a significant victory for environmental groups, but leaves the door open for a road with more restricted use. The land swap was approved under the Trump administration to link King Cove with an airport in nearby Cold Bay, but 11 miles of the road would run through the wildlife refuge, which includes extensive wetlands that are a prime stopover territory for geese and other migrating birds.

Alaska's Izembek Wildlife Refuge: Biden Administration's Latest Move.

The Biden administration has withdrawn a land-swap deal that would have allowed a road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, originally protected under President Jimmy Carter. The move helps preserve Carter's environmental legacy, but stops short of the complete rejection of a road sought by some environmentalists and Carter himself. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland outlined her position in a legal brief filed Tuesday in the litigation over Izembek in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
