Specifically, after the VA acquires 29.06 acres adjacent to the original acreage of Fargo National Cemetery, the VA must convey such parcel upon written request from the city for the conveyance of the parcel. Under the agreement, the city must pay the VA an amount equal to the market value of the parcel as determined by a VA appraisal.
