senate 04/02/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to enable a land exchange between the State of Wisconsin and a local business by having the federal government release its reversionary interest on certain state forest land, which will allow the state to add land from the business to Black River State Forest while the business gains land better suited for its operations. This aims to support local economic activity and preserve public forest land.

If it’s a true land swap with no strings attached, maybe it’s just good old-fashioned deal-making.
