HB 2606 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act authorizing the Department of General Services, with the approval of the Governor, to grant and convey to the City of Hermitage, certain lands situate in Hickory Township, Mercer County.

This bill authorizes the Pennsylvania Department of General Services to sell approximately 7.92 acres of former National Guard property in Mercer County to the City of Hermitage for a fair market value of $920,000. The transaction requires Governor approval and includes specific conditions, such as a permanent prohibition on using the land for licensed facilities like bars or clubs, with the title reverting to the state if this rule is violated. Any proceeds from the sale will be deposited into the State Armory Fund, and the city is responsible for paying all associated costs and fees. If the sale does not happen within 24 months, the property will instead be sold through a competitive bidding process.
