S 741 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes State Treasurer to sell as surplus certain real property and improvements in City of Jersey City in Hudson County.

This bill transfers ownership of the Holland Tunnel Service Garage in Jersey City (Block 7203, Lot 2) from the State of New Jersey to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ). The State Treasurer is authorized to sell the property for $11, formalizing a long-standing arrangement where PANYNJ has maintained and controlled the garage since 1931 without formal title. The property was declared surplus to the state's needs, and the sale resolves historical ambiguity about ownership. This transfer affects the state (relinquishing title) and PANYNJ (gaining legal ownership of a facility it has managed for over 90 years).
