Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend chapter 495 of the laws of 2011 relating to the conveyance of land formerly used as an armory to the town of Riverhead, county of Suffolk, in relation to the permitted use of such property

AI Summary

This bill amends a 2011 law that originally transferred a former armory property in Riverhead, Suffolk County, New York, to the town with specific use restrictions. The original law required the town to use the property for police department, justice court, public safety, and recreational programs. The new bill modifies those restrictions, allowing the town to lease or sell the property to the YMCA of Long Island for recreational and community programs serving all ages. If the YMCA no longer uses the property for these purposes, the title will revert to the town of Riverhead, rather than the state of New York as previously specified. The bill essentially provides more flexibility for the town in utilizing the former armory property by permitting its transfer to a community organization while maintaining a clause that ensures the property remains dedicated to public use.
