Authorizes the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk to amend a conservation easement
This bill authorizes the town of Brookhaven to adjust a conservation easement by removing a specific parcel of land (to enable rail access) and adding another parcel to the easement to maintain conservation of natural resources and open space. The town must remove the designated land for rail infrastructure while adding new land to preserve environmental assets, ensuring the total conserved area remains unchanged. This amendment modifies the easement boundaries without altering the conservation purpose or overall land protection. The bill directly affects Brookhaven's land management and rail service planning within the conserved area.
