Information

Request/Subject

Discussion regarding the acquisition of the Pleasant Valley United States Forest Service (USFS) Administrative Site in Young, Arizona. For well over a year, Supervisor Cline has been working with the USFS and Representative Paul Gosar's Office to obtain ownership of the Pleasant Valley Administrative Site in Young, Arizona that will soon be abandoned by the USFS.

Background Information

Representative Paul Gosar suggested to Supervisor Cline in a meeting in March 2018, that he should work to find a way to re-purpose the site to benefit veterans. Since that time staff has researched various veterans groups and has been working with a consultant to assist in reaching out to various groups. Most recently, a group from Tucson (American Patriot Memorial) has indicated an interest in establishing a Gold Star Family Retreat on the site.

Evaluation

It would be advantageous for the Board of Supervisors and the public to be provided information on this status of this endeavor.

Conclusion

Supervisor Cline wishes to update the other Board members and discuss the possible re-use of the facility, once acquired.

Recommendation
