A bill to remove restrictions from a parcel of land in Paducah, Kentucky.
Summary
What This Bill Does
The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to execute the documents needed to remove restrictions from a specific parcel in Paducah, Kentucky. The land is about 3.62 acres at 2956 Park Avenue on the former Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center, previously conveyed to the city by quitclaim deed in 2012. Removing easements, reservations, terms, conditions, and covenants gives the city more flexibility to reuse or redevelop the property.
Who Benefits and How
The City of Paducah benefits because it gains fewer federal constraints on reuse of the 3.62-acre former Army Reserve parcel. McCracken County residents benefit if the city can redevelop or manage the property for local public or economic purposes. Local developers or public-service users benefit from clearer title and fewer deed restrictions. City property managers benefit from a federal instruction to clear restrictions in the recorded deed.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Interior Secretary must execute instruments removing the deed restrictions. Federal land records staff must process the change and maintain documentation. Federal reversion or oversight interests lose restrictions preserved in the 2012 quitclaim deed. The City of Paducah must manage redevelopment responsibility after federal restrictions are removed.
