DENVER—The House has approved a plan that would bar the state Land Board from selling or leasing property to the U.S. Army for expansion in Pinon Canyon.
The measure is an attempt to stop the Army from expanding its Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site in southeastern Colorado by protecting land owned by the state that is used for funding Colorado’s schools.
The measure, which now heads to the Senate, drew strong opposition from lawmakers who say the military needs more land to train soldiers to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.
