Bill > S07139

This bill authorizes the New York State Commissioner of General Services to transfer approximately 15 acres of state-owned land located in the town of Wilton, Saratoga County, to the Veterans and Community Housing Coalition for the symbolic price of one dollar. The land transfer is contingent upon the coalition submitting a precise survey and site plan to the commissioner for approval, and the land must be used exclusively for providing housing and supportive services to homeless and at-risk veterans. The bill stipulates that if the land is not used for its intended purpose, ownership will revert back to the state. The transfer must be initiated within two years of the bill's effective date and completed within one year of the coalition's application. The legislation is time-limited and will automatically expire and be repealed three years after its enactment, ensuring that the land transfer process has a defined timeline and purpose of supporting veterans' housing needs.
