Excess county land

According to the UNOFFICIAL MINUTES OF THE ST.CROIX COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Regular Meeting – April 17, 2012: "Supr. Malick requested Thompson’s progress on selling excess county-owned land. Thompson reported the County has identified 290 parcels of county-owned land consisting of approximately 1900 acres with 189 parcels (290 acres) being Highway Department related, 39 parcels are conservation related, and 17 parcels are in use by county/tax deed related. Thompson reported he will be dealing with the excess Government Center property and the Health and Human Services land which includes approximately 600 acres of farmland." It sure would be nice if the county sold the excess land to allow them to be more productive.
