Daily Sentinel: Boebert's Clifton bill clears House committee

7.28.2023

A bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Silt, to expedite the sale of federal land in the Clifton area to Mesa County has advanced in the House of Representatives with bipartisan support.

Boebert’s CONVEY (Clifton Opportunities Now for Vibrant Economic Yields) Act was passed in the House Natural Resources Committee by unanimous bipartisan consent and will now move to consideration on the House floor.

The bill seeks to speed up the sale of about 31 acres of land, mostly south of Interstate 70 in the 32 Road area, to the county. It directs the Interior secretary to convey the parcel to the county “as soon as practicable.” The county would have to pay fair market value in the transaction, and hopes to use the land to promote economic development by incentivizing industry and business in the Clifton area.
