CdA To Pursue BLM Lease

The Coeur d'Alene City Council voted unanimously on Thursday to proceed with an application to lease BLM land in the Four Corners area. City officials worked with Welch Comer Engineers to process information, gathered at two public meetings, into a preliminary design for improvement to the Four Corners region, which runs from Independence Point to the Bureau of Land Management corridor's western boundary near the east end of Riverstone. BLM controls 29 of the 40 acres of land in the 2-mile stretch and could lease the property to the city, at little to no cost, if development is focused around public use. "This is a process the city has been going through for several years now," said Steve Anthony, Parks and Recreation director. "We feel that we've gathered enough data and input at this point that we are prepared to send our documents to the federal government"/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
