S 9260 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the county of Chautauqua to alienate and discontinue the use of certain reforested lands

This bill authorizes Chautauqua County to stop using three specific parcels of vacant reforested land (totaling ~41.5 acres) that are currently unused for recreation or reforestation. The county may transfer these lands only after acquiring new vacant land for parklands or reforestation adjacent to existing parks. The bill specifies exact property descriptions for three parcels in Ellery and Ripley towns, all currently vacant and not publicly accessible. This is a land management authorization, not a broad policy change, requiring the county to replace the discontinued lands with new parkland or reforestation areas.
