Trump Administration Live Updates: Proposal Would Give Part of Yosemite to a Developer
The Trump administration has proposed giving a small parcel of land in Yosemite National Park in California to a private developer, according to federal officials and documents reviewed by The New York Times.
The potential deal, which has not yet been finalized, has alarmed conservationists and former federal officials, who say that Yosemite, the crown jewel of the nationโs park system, should be off limits to development.
The proposal, details of which were first reported by the news outlet NOTUS, calls for transferring a small parcel just inside the western boundaries of Yosemite to a Las Vegas-based company. That firm wants to build a road and develop two 40-acre parcels near the park, according to documents submitted to Congress this year and reviewed by The Times.
In exchange, the company would purchase land of equivalent value, either near Yosemite or elsewhere in California, and hand it over to the Park Service, the documents show.
