Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the transfer of the wastewater treatment plant and its associated land to the Town of Goshen from the state's Mid-Hudson Forensic Psychiatric Center campus. It amends existing state laws to allow the property to be conveyed for a nominal fee rather than fair market value to ensure the town can continue providing essential wastewater services to the psychiatric center. The legislation requires the state Office of Mental Health to set specific terms in a written agreement to guarantee the plant's ongoing operation and maintenance at a reasonable cost. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state notify its legislative leaders before the transfer takes effect.
