How will the District make the surplus lands available to members of the public that may be interested in buying them?

The District posts surplus land sales on its website, sends notices out via its listserv and/or may list the surplus lands with real estate firms that have been prequalified by the District .  Once the District has determined that the land is not wanted by other Governmental entities and has complied with other statutory requirements, the District may choose to offer the opportunity to purchase to adjacent property owners via certified mail.  Notice of such offering is posted on the District website and also published in the local newspaper.  If that is not successful, then the District will offer the property to the public at large.
