I introduced H.R. 4141 to further enhance the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. This legislation will promulgate the exchange of approximately 1,000 acres of private, environmentally-sensitive, mountainous land on the eastern border of the Red Rock National Conservation Area held by the Howard Hughes Corporation for approximately 1,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management lands. In addition, approximately 1,200 acres of BLM land will be transferred to Clark County to be used as a public park. The exchange is fully consistent with the objectives of the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act to dispose developable Federal lands in exchange for those that are environmentally sensitive. The land to be conveyed to the BLM by the Howard Hughes Corporation has archeological, scenic, and recreational values.
