Wyoming governor sells state land to U.S. for $100M, expanding Grand Teton National Park.

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has approved the sale of a 1-square-mile parcel of state-owned land to the U.S. government for $100 million to be added to Grand Teton National Park. The land, prime habitat for wildlife like elk and grizzly bears, will be bought for its appraised value of $62.5 million, with the rest covered by private funds. Wyoming has owned the land since before the park's establishment in 1929, and this sale concludes the state's threats to sell it to developers.
