An Act authorizing the Department of General Services, with the approval of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Governor, to grant and convey to the White Birch Golf Course and Restaurant, certain lands situate in Rush Township, Schuylkill County.
This bill authorizes the Pennsylvania Department of General Services to sell a specific strip of land at Tuscarora State Park to the White Birch Golf Course and Restaurant for one dollar. The property, which measures approximately 500 by 100 feet and includes existing improvements, was historically used as a parking area for the golf course. The sale is subject to several conditions, including a requirement that the land cannot be used for any licensed facility, and the buyer must cover all associated costs and fees. If the transaction is not completed within two years of the bill taking effect, the property may be disposed of through other state procedures.
