This bill authorizes several land conveyances and transfers involving different government entities and locations. First, it allows the Department of General Services to sell approximately 2.857 acres of land in Harrisburg, Dauphin County to the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority for $340,000, with specific conditions prohibiting the use of the property as a licensed facility. Second, it permits the transfer of an easement interest in Project 70 lands owned by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission in Overfield Township, Wyoming County, to the Department of Transportation, with existing Project 70 restrictions removed. Third, the bill enables a land exchange between the Commonwealth and Tioga County in Charleston Township, involving the swap of two 0.431-acre parcels near the Wellsboro Readiness Center. Finally, the bill authorizes a property exchange between the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in Carbon County, involving a 332.3-acre parcel in Lehigh Township to be exchanged for a 449-acre tract (known as the Glen Onoko Tract) partly in Nesquehoning Borough and partly in Lehigh Township, which will be added to Lehigh Gorge State Park. Each conveyance includes specific conditions, such as prohibitions on certain uses and provisions for easements and encumbrances, and requires approval from various state entities.
