Bill > S08378

This bill amends a 2011 law regarding land formerly used as an armory in Riverhead, Suffolk County, New York, to authorize the town to lease the property to the YMCA of Long Island for 99 years at a nominal cost of one dollar. The lease is specifically intended for the YMCA to improve the structures and provide recreational and community services. An important provision stipulates that if the land ceases to be used for these purposes, ownership will revert back to the state of New York. The bill essentially modifies the original 2011 legislation, which previously allowed the town to use the property for its own purposes like police department facilities and recreational programs, to now explicitly enable a long-term lease with the YMCA for community-focused uses. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
