This latest request includes land in Scott County and the City of Prior Lake and encompasses 815 acres in total. The parcels are mostly prairie, woodlands, farmland with some residential structures. 

Budget Impact:
If approved by the BIA, the action of placing the parcels into trust would have an impact of reducing actual tax dollars by $103,000.54 in 2024, which would have to be incorporated into the taxes of the city's remaining parcels. This tax income will be permanently removed from future tax receipts.
