What is the process and timeline for acquiring the land? Who will hold title to the land?
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) after months of preparation published on August 3, 2001 a notice nationwide in the Federal Register, to prepare a Draft Resource Management Plan. This was a complete revision of the former Plan that covered 1.3 million acres of BLM land in the Lake Havasu Field Office district. Included in that draft plan was BLM’s role in the management of Lake Havasu and the 320 acre site now known as the Section 24 university site. Ten open houses and numerous public hearings were held on the draft Plan. Approximately 1,000 comments were received. Apparently none related to the university site. The 1,500-page final version of the draft Plan was made available for public review and comment in September 2006. Notices were printed nationwide in the Federal Register and numerous public hearings were held. Again, there were apparently no comments related to the Section 24 university site. The final version of the BLM Resource Management Plan was approved in May 2007. T
