Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to providing an exemption from requirements for the alienation of parkland for renewable energy generating projects
AI Summary
This bill creates an exemption from the usual legal requirements for selling or repurposing parkland, specifically for certain renewable energy projects. The key provisions state that real property acquired or improved by a municipality using funds from a specific environmental conservation law title can be sold or used for purposes other than public parks without needing a legislative act, as long as it's not within the Adirondack or Catskill parks. This exemption applies only to the sale or disposal of rights to the airspace directly above the property, and only for solar energy projects with a generating capacity of two megawatts or less that are built above existing vehicle parking areas. The bill aims to facilitate the development of small-scale solar energy generation on underutilized spaces, making it easier for municipalities to implement such projects.
