DPL is mandated to get the best and highest use of rent for public lands. DPL collects base rent and a percentage of BGR, meaning DPL also collects a percentage of any revenue derived from public land and we negotiate for the highest public benefit we can get. The scholarship benefit is a small component of all the public benefits that DPL has negotiated over the past few years. However, at all times, base rent, and a percentage of BGR is never compromised in lieu of public benefit. DPL continuously shifts public benefit to directly impact the lives of people of Northern Marianas descent. (PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
