A 11317 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the trustees of the state university of New York to lease and contract to make available certain land on the SUNY Stony Brook campus

This bill authorizes the State University of New York trustees to lease approximately 11.5 acres of underutilized land at the SUNY Stony Brook campus to a non-profit housing organization. The agreement would allow the development of multi-purpose facilities to address housing needs and related amenities for a period of up to 99 years, with the land reverting to the university if the project stops or the lease ends. While the lease does not require public bidding, the deal must be approved by state officials, and any construction work on the site must follow state labor laws regarding wages and public work standards. The legislation also includes strict provisions to prevent the university from contracting out specific administrative or instructional services currently performed by state employees, ensuring those jobs remain with public workers.
