Authorizes the city of Niagara Falls to alienate and discontinue the use of certain parklands
This bill authorizes the city of Niagara Falls to sell a specific 1.77-acre strip of parkland to The Papermill, LLC. The primary goal is to remove this barrier so that two adjacent commercial properties can be combined for development. In exchange for the sale, the city must dedicate funds equal to the land's fair market value to buy new parkland or improve existing recreational facilities. The legislation also includes conditions to ensure compliance with any federal rules regarding the conversion of government-funded parkland.
