Leasing of State Land is a 1983 report prepared for the North Carolina General Assembly.
This edition explains how state lands are sold or leased, who approves deals, and why lawmakers considered competitive bidding.
The document blends background, legislative history, and committee findings. It outlines state law governing disposition of land, reviews practices in other states, and summarizes remarks from interested parties. The authors argue that the current system is adequate and that blanket bidding requirements may not serve the state's best interests.
