Scott County, as required under Minnesota State Statute § 282.01 to offer to convey to cities and townships land that may go to public auction.  This particular land is the rail bed for two spurs that serve industrial users.  The city acquiring them will ensure that rail access is preserved and allow for continued economic stability and growth in the area.
