Bill > S08588

This bill authorizes the transfer of certain state-owned land in Queensbury, Warren County, from the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs to the County of Warren as a gift, provided specific conditions are met. The land, identified by a tax map parcel number and described in detail, is currently considered "stockpiled property" by the Division of Military and Naval Affairs. For the transfer to occur, Warren County must apply to the Office of General Services within one year of the bill's effective date, submitting a resolution from its managing board that acknowledges and accepts specific use restrictions. These restrictions mandate that the land be used exclusively for public purposes such as agency training, emergency communications, operational deployments, emergency response, and secure storage, and that it cannot be transferred to any owner other than Warren County or the State of New York; failure to adhere to these uses will result in the land reverting to the state. Additionally, Warren County must enter into an agreement allowing the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to continue using and maintaining a state-owned antenna and communication equipment located at 5 Fox Farm Road on the property. The transfer must be completed within three years of the bill's effective date.
