Bill > S07989

This bill makes technical amendments to a previous law concerning a land conveyance in New Rochelle, Westchester County, specifically addressing conditions for the transfer of the Armory Building and its annex. The bill clarifies that if the city fails to preserve the Armory Building or provide a dedicated space for veterans organization use (either free or at a minimal rental cost), the title to the Armory Building, its annex, and the underlying land will revert back to the state of New York. However, once a certificate of occupancy is issued for the building and annex, the state's rights of reverter will be permanently released. Additionally, the bill explicitly grants the state the right to enforce these conditions through legal means, including seeking injunctive relief or specific performance. The changes appear to be aimed at protecting the historical and community significance of the Armory Building while allowing for potential economic development by the city of New Rochelle.
