Conway Ranch purchase moves forward
In late July, the Trust for Public Land (TPL) moved to purchase the historic Conway Ranch; the sale will be complete after a 60-day escrow period. The Conway Ranch property, located in the northwest Mono Basin, was once slated for development.
The purchase followed on the heels of the signing of a memorandum of understanding that outlined Mono County’s interest in purchasing the land from TPL. A number of management options consistent with protecting open space and historical resources are being considered for the land.
At the same time that it secured the commitment from the County, TPL also secured a commitment from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to serve as a back-up purchaser for the property. If the County fails to come up with financing, BLM ultimately could acquire the property through exchange. Or BLM could act as a partner with the County in the acquisition, acquiring specific portions of the property.
