A 6500 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Authorizes the town of Hempstead to transfer ownership of certain parkland to the village of Freeport

This bill authorizes the Town of Hempstead to transfer ownership of a 39-acre town marina to the neighboring Village of Freeport. The transfer is conditional on the village maintaining the land for public park and recreational use, ensuring that Hempstead residents retain access and are not charged higher fees than village residents. Any money the town receives from the sale must be reinvested into improving existing parks or acquiring new recreational facilities. Additionally, the law requires that if the land was previously funded by federal grants, the transfer cannot happen until those specific federal rules are satisfied. If the village ever stops using the property for parks, ownership would automatically revert back to the Town of Hempstead.
