S.2150 A bill to direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey certain Bureau of Land Management Land to the City of Eugene, Oregon.
Eugene Oregon will build a wildlife viewing area and an environmental education center on Bureau of Land Management property the Bureau will transfer to the city. If the land is not used for those purposes it must be returned to the US taxpayers.
The land equals about 12 acres in Lane County, OR and will be improved with laboratories, greenhouses, a reference library and public gathering places, an exhibit hall, auditorium and three classrooms overlooking 2,200 acres of West Eugene Wetlands. Involved in the project are the Eugene School districts, Northwest Youth Corp and the Williamette resources and Educational Network.
Sponsor: Senator Ron Wyden (OR) Vote: Passed Senate by Unanimous Consent December 7, 2006. Passed House by voice vote December 9, 2006. Cost to the taxpayers: “CBO estimates that enacting S. 2150 would have no significant impact on the federal budget and would not affect revenues or direct spending.”
