Bill > HB1620

This bill authorizes the Pennsylvania Department of General Services, with the Governor's approval, to sell a 1.71-acre property located at 2100 West Girard Avenue in Philadelphia to the Philadelphia Housing Authority for $50,000. The sale comes with several specific conditions: the property must be developed solely as a senior living facility and mixed-income affordable housing project within five years (with a possible 10-year extension), the development cannot include any licensed gambling facilities, and if the Housing Authority fails to develop the property as specified or uses it for other purposes, the property will revert back to the Commonwealth. The bill requires the sale to be made through a special warranty deed, with all associated costs and fees paid by the Philadelphia Housing Authority. The proceeds from the sale will be deposited into the General Fund, and if the sale is not completed within 24 months, the property may be sold through a competitive bidding process. The legislation includes provisions for potential easements and ensures that the property remains subject to existing legal rights and encumbrances.
