Authorizes State Treasurer to sell as surplus certain real property and improvements in City of Camden in Camden County.
This bill authorizes the State Treasurer to sell the former Riverfront State Prison property (16.5 acres) in Camden as surplus state property. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) will purchase the "NJEDA Site" for up to $5 million or the appraised value, while the City of Camden receives the "City Site" for $1 - on the condition that Camden later sells its "Southwest Site" parcel to the NJEDA. The sale bypasses prior approval requirements from the State House Commission or Legislature, repealing a 2013 law that previously attempted to facilitate this sale but failed to transfer title. The property is split into defined parcels for redevelopment, with the City Site requiring preservation for public parks or recreation.
