Both the Federal and non-Federal lands are in Fairfax County, Virginia. The private party participating in the exchange is the Meadowood Farm Limited Partnership, owner of Meadowood Farm. The public is invited to participate in the land exchange and planning process, beginning with scoping to identify issues to be addressed, alternatives to be analyzed, and criteria to be considered in making a decision, Criteria include applicable laws, regulations, and policies. If identified through public participation, additional criteria may be developed. The scoping period is an opportunity to identify any liens, encumbrances or other title claims on both the Federal and non-Federal land.
Public participation is an integral and important part of the planning and exchange processes.
We intend to involve all interested or affected parties. The planning team will seek input from groups and individuals through public meetings, direct mailings, personal contacts, and coordination with local, state and other federal agencies. At the meeting BLM will present information about the planning and exchange processes, and gather public input. Technical support and mapping will be provided as needed.
