S 10555 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the village of Upper Brookville, county of Nassau to discontinue and alienate the use of certain parklands

This bill authorizes the Village of Upper Brookville in Nassau County to sell a specific 0.366-acre parcel of land currently designated as parkland. The legislation allows the village to sell the property at fair market value to a private buyer for the purpose of constructing a residence, provided the land has never been used for public open space. In exchange for this sale, the village must dedicate other land to replace the park area, ensuring the total value of the new parkland matches or exceeds the value of the land being sold. The bill also includes conditions requiring compliance with any federal funding rules and mandates that the village use any value difference from the exchange to acquire additional parkland or fund capital improvements.
