NOTUS reported that National Park Service officials had been quietly working for more than a year on a proposal to give part of Yosemite to a private developer.
Multiple reports identify the developer as Kingsbarn Realty Capital and say the proposal could enable a private road connecting the company’s property to the park.
The available descriptions characterize the arrangement as a proposed land exchange or transfer, and do not establish that a sale has occurred or received final approval.
