California hands Blues Beach to Pomo tribes in landmark transfer

California transfers 136 acres of Blues Beach from Caltrans to Kai Poma, a nonprofit formed by the Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Round Valley Indian Tribes and Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, marking California’s first state land conveyance to tribal governments since a 2021 law change. Kai Poma will own and manage the site, protect cultural and natural resources, and keep public access from sunrise to sunset while prohibiting commercial activity, with cultural, archaeological and environmental surveys and a long-term resource-management plan to follow.

Florida Cabinet approves Hillsborough land transfer for Rays stadium project

The Florida Cabinet voted to transfer 22 acres of Hillsborough College land at the Dale Mabry campus to the Rays for a planned Tampa stadium and mixed-use district, with the team expected to fund about half of the up-to-$2.3 billion cost and remaining funds from Tampa and county sources. The transfer includes conditions: the project must have certain components built within five years, and Hillsborough College will retain ownership of redeveloped buildings. Gov. DeSantis voiced support, noting potential state funding for college buildings, while some lawmakers raised concerns about taxpayer subsidies and ensuring a tangible economic return.
