Baca Buy?
The federal government is actively negotiating to buy the Baca Ranch as part of the Great Sand Dunes monument-to-park deal.
Steve Chaney, superintendent of the monument, said Bruce Babbit’s staff is in active negotiation with Farallon Corp., which owns the ranch, for a multi-year purchase deal. The target date for a deal was Inauguration Day.
