Location of National Guard facilities

The department, in preparing, developing, constructing, and maintaining the guard facilities, may use for such purposes a parcel consisting of approximately thirty-five acres, as determined by the facilities master plan, of existing improved and unimproved property surrounding the western slope military veterans' cemetery within the eastern portion of the real property known as the Grand Junction regional center; except that the parcel shall not include the approximately twenty acres currently serving the western slope military veterans' cemetery. The department shall enter into all necessary agreements to secure the appropriate property rights for such parcel, including the shared use of the existing structure in cooperation with the department of human services. The general assembly requests the department of human services and the state board of land commissioners to transfer, without compensation, appropriate rights to the property described in this section to the department within two months of the completion of a legal survey of the property described in this section.
