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 specific 39-acre marina parkland to the neighboring Village of Freeport. The transfer is conditional on the village maintaining the land for public park and recreational use while ensuring that all residents of both the town and village have equitable access to the facilities. Any money the town receives from this sale must be used to improve its own existing parks or acquire new recreational land. The legislation also includes a clause stating that if the land stops being used for public recreation, ownership will automatically revert to the town, and it requires the town to follow federal rules if the land was previously funded by the government.
