To remove restrictions from a parcel of land in Paducah, Kentucky.
Summary
What This Bill Does
Directs the Secretary of the Interior to execute the legal instruments needed to remove deed restrictions from a 3.62-acre parcel at 2956 Park Avenue on the Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky. The restrictions come from a 2012 quitclaim deed from the United States to the City of Paducah. The House-passed text removes the old restrictions but adds new reservations governing transfer and future use.
Who Benefits and How
The City of Paducah, Oscar Cross Boys & Girls Club of Paducah, McCracken County youth and families, local recreation users, and community-development planners benefit from a clearer path to reuse the parcel and improvements. The City gains flexibility to transfer or sell the land to the Boys & Girls Club, while the Club gains a potential site subject to public-use or recreation-compatible development.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Secretary of the Interior, Interior realty staff, City of Paducah officials, Oscar Cross Boys & Girls Club officers, local title and recording officials, and future parcel transferees must honor the new reservations. The City may not transfer the parcel to anyone except the Boys & Girls Club, and the Club must offer the parcel back to the Secretary without consideration before conveying it to another entity.
