Bill Summary
AN ACT in relation to authorizing the town of Brookhaven in Suffolk county to alienate certain lands used as parklands for the purposes of installing a cellular tower
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County to lease certain parklands to Tag Towers LLC for up to thirty years to install and operate a wireless communication tower, and to grant an easement for access and utilities, provided that the town dedicates an amount equal to or greater than the fair market value of the parklands to acquiring new parklands or improving existing ones. The bill specifies that if the lands are no longer used for the tower, they will revert to parkland, requiring the tower's removal and restoration of the property. Additionally, if federal funds were used for these parklands, Brookhaven must comply with federal requirements, including ensuring any replacement lands are equivalent in value and usefulness, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior.
