Actually the land belongs to the people of those states, and should be returned to them.
That is not a task that could be completed instantaneously, so until the Fed Gov can divest itself of the land, management of the land should should be handed over to counties, and the counties should use the revenue generated from those lands as the people of those counties dictate, with all options on the table.
The Fed Gov took the land by legislative fiat and has no legitimate reason to hold it, since post offices and federal courthouses are usually situated in more urban settings.
If, in the future, the representatives of the people of the United States determine a need for the Fed Gov to own any of the land, they can buy it back through the same processes available for any other acquisitions.
