State Trust land south of Apache Junction and north of Queen Creek is to go to auction in August.

The auction is Aug. 20, with the time, location, number of acres and the process to be announced in the next two weeks, Dave Cherry, public information officer for the Arizona State Land Department, said.

“As far as specifics, all of that is put together in what’s called our auction notice and that is delivered to the public — meaning the media and members of the public — at the same time through our website and advertising and various areas,” he said.

The information is to be posted by June 11.
