Housing

This bill authorizes Suffolk County to sell a specific parkland parcel (described in Section 3, approximately 0.23 acres in Smithtown) to Russel and Deana Galindo for residential development. In exchange, the Galindos must transfer another designated parcel (described in Section 4, approximately 0.24 acres) to the county to become new parkland, with the county ensuring the fair market value of the new land equals or exceeds the value of the sold land. The bill requires the county to use any value difference to acquire additional parkland or improve existing facilities and includes federal compliance requirements if federal funds were involved. It directly affects Suffolk County, the Galindos, and future parkland users through this specific land exchange.
