A landmark deal took place this week that is one of the largest government land buy-backs in history.  The state of Florida spent 1.7 billion dollars to buy out U.S. Sugar's corporate holdings on 300 square miles of land.  This land will be reclaimed as wetlands in an effort to stabilize the fragile everglades nearby.

This is a great topic for this week's roundup!
