If a reciprocal access agreement were granted, the State would gain access to approximately 1427 acres of classified forest land for future forest management activities which would generate substantial revenue. In addition, the land being accessed would increase in value with the enhanced access. The State would also realize cost savings of utilizing existing, constructed road and associated infrastructure that is estimated to be worth $154,216.00. The State Normal School and Montana State University 2nd grant Trusts would benefit from acquiring this access.
OTHER APPROPRIATE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES. Action Alternative: Approving of the reciprocal access agreement would likely allow the sale of Prairie Creek Ranch to be finalized. This would transfer lands and leases contained within Prairie Creek Ranch from a California based LLC to local Montana residents. The State and public would be granted access to 2,808 acres of currently inaccessible School Trust lands. No Action Alternative: The financial implications of the “No Action Alternative” may be severe for both the sellers and buyers involved in the proposed sale of the land known as Prairie Creek Ranch. The State and public would not be granted access to 2,808 acres of currently inaccessible School Trust lands.
