The gist
Transfers roughly 20 acres of Fort Bragg (Parcel 3B) in Harnett County to North Carolina for building a state-run veterans' nursing home.
Who wins, who loses
- Wins: North Carolina veterans needing long-term care; the state's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
- Loses: no one materially; Army loses a small training parcel but keeps reversion rights.
What it does
- Authorizes the Army Secretary to convey the land to North Carolina at no cost.
- Requires the state to pay all survey, environmental, and administrative costs.
- Land reverts to federal ownership if not used for a veterans' State home.
- Exact acreage set by an Army-approved survey.
Why should I care?
Supporters say aging veterans need more nursing-home beds close to military communities, and donating unused training land speeds that up cheaply. Critics argue the Army should keep training acreage near a major base and that states should buy land at fair value. Veterans' care shapes families in military towns like Fayetteville.
