HUBBARD COUNTY APPROVES LAND PROTECTION DONATION AGREEMENT WITH THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND


Hubbard County has been working with Bob McGillivray from the Trust for Public Land (TPL) for several months to acquire the property formerly known as Val Chatal for the development of a natural resource park. TPL is set to acquire the property from the current owner in early 2022 through the generosity of a private donor.
Hubbard County Board of Commissioners approved the Land Protection Donation Agreement at the Board of Commissioners meeting on December 21, 2021. The agreement includes a list of deed restrictions to protect the property and help to preserve the nature of the area.
Hubbard County has already engaged SRF Consulting out of Minneapolis to facilitate planning for the development of the park. SRF Consulting will work with Chip Lohmeier, Hubbard County Land Commissioner, and the County Park Board to develop plans for this facility.
