SB 521 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONVEYING A PARCEL OF STATE LAND TO THE NORTHWEST RESOURCE RECOVERY AUTHORITY.

This bill directs the Commissioner of Administrative Services to transfer a 4-acre state-owned parcel in Torrington, including the Torrington Transfer Station, to the Northwest Resource Recovery Authority. The transfer will occur at no cost to the Authority, covering only administrative expenses, and requires approval from the State Properties Review Board. The Authority must use the land to operate a public waste and recycling transfer station, with the property reverting to the state if the Authority fails to use it, loses ownership, or leases it. The State Properties Review Board must complete its review within 30 days, and the Department of Administrative Services retains control of the land until the transfer is finalized.
