Authorizes State Treasurer to sell as surplus certain real property and improvements in City of Camden in Camden County.
This bill authorizes the State Treasurer to sell the former Riverfront State Prison property in Camden (16 acres) as surplus state property. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) will purchase the "NJEDA Site" for up to $5 million or its appraised value, while the City of Camden will receive the "City Site" for $1 - on the condition that Camden sells a specific "Southwest Site" parcel to NJEDA and preserves the land for public parks or recreation. The sale bypasses further legislative approval, repealing a 2013 law that failed to finalize the property transfer. The bill directly affects NJEDA, Camden City, and the redevelopment of the former prison site.
