H.R. 10159: To authorize the Secretary of the Army to convey to the State of North Carolina a certain parcel of real property located at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on which the State shall construct a veterans’ State home, and for other purposes.

This bill would let the Secretary of the Army transfer about 20 acres of federal land at Fort Bragg in Harnett County, North Carolina, to the State of North Carolina without payment.

The land transfer would be for one specific purpose: the State would use the property to build a veterans’ State home, which is a facility for veterans under the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

What property is covered

The bill covers roughly 20 acres of land at Fort Bragg Training Area in Harnett County, North Carolina.
The exact size and legal boundaries would be determined by a survey approved by the Secretary of the Army.
Any existing improvements on the land would also be included in the transfer.

Costs and administration

North Carolina would have to pay, or reimburse the federal government for, all costs related to the transfer.
These costs could include environmental review, real estate due diligence, and other administrative expenses.
If the State pays more in advance than the actual costs turn out to be, the federal government would have to refund the difference.

Limits on how the land can be used

If the land is no longer used for activities related to the veterans’ State home, the federal government could reclaim it.
The Secretary of the Army could also set additional terms and conditions to protect federal interests.
