Bill > A10161

This bill authorizes Chautauqua County to discontinue the use of certain lands previously acquired for reforestation purposes, allowing them to be used for acquiring and dedicating other reforested lands or parklands adjacent to existing parkland, provided that the county acquires new lands of equal or greater fair market value for reforestation or parkland purposes. The bill specifies the exact parcels of land in the towns of Ellery and Ripley that can be alienated, noting they are currently vacant and not used by the public for recreational or reforestation purposes. It also outlines the specific parcel in the town of Arkwright that the county must acquire and dedicate as replacement land. If the alienated lands are ever used for a purpose other than those described in the bill, they must be restored to their original state and maintained as reforested lands, as required by county law.
