Bill > SB217

This bill authorizes the conveyance of multiple state-owned land parcels to various entities, including county metropolitan park districts, local school districts, municipalities, and utility companies. The bill contains several key sections, each detailing a specific land transfer. These transfers include: conveying land in Greene and Tuscarawas Counties to the state's Adjutant General's Department, transferring land to the Eastland-Fairfield Career and Technical School District, conveying land to the Groveport Madison Local School District, transferring land to the Madison County Board of Commissioners for the sheriff's department, gifting a building housing the National Aviation Hall of Fame to the U.S. Air Force, conveying railroad land to Trumbull and Ashtabula County Metropolitan Park Districts, and granting multiple utility easements to the City of Columbus and Columbia Gas of Ohio. Each section specifies the precise land description, the intended recipient, the consideration (often $1.00 or a nominal fee), and sets conditions such as potential reversion if the land is not used for its intended purpose. The bill includes provisions for the Director of Administrative Services to execute the necessary deeds and sets an expiration of three years for most sections, ensuring timely completion of the transfers.
