Authorizes the county of Putnam to lease certain lands used as parklands
This bill authorizes Putnam County to sell a specific parcel of parkland in Carmel for a cell tower installation by Homeland Towers, LLC. The county must dedicate funds equal to the land's fair market value toward acquiring new parkland or improving existing parks. It directly affects Putnam County residents who use the parkland and local cellular service users. The key provision requires the county to offset the loss of parkland by investing in new recreational space, ensuring no net reduction in public park access. The bill does not change zoning or service requirements for the tower itself.
