WASHINGTON, D.C. --The House Natural Resources Committee has announced the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands will hold a legislative hearing for H.R. 4039, the Yerington Land Conveyance and Sustainable Development Act, on Tuesday, April 17, at 10:00 a.m. in room 1324 of the Longworth House Office Building.

"Down, but not out, the people of Yerington are taking control of their community's future with this plan," said Congressman Amodei (NV-2), who introduced the legislation in February. "The potential of the Pumpkin Hollow project has been discussed for a long time. But now, thanks to the private investment of Nevada Copper and the public vision of the community stakeholders, the path to jobs and growth is clear."

The hearing is the important first step in the legislative process before the bill can be marked up by the committee and brought to the House floor for consideration.
