A 11533: Authorizes the town of Greenburgh to alienate and discontinue the use of certain parkland and to lease such land to HESP Solar LLC for a term not to exceed twenty-five years.
This act authorizes the Town of Greenburgh in Westchester County to discontinue the use of specific parkland and lease it to Hesp Solar LLC for a term of up to twenty-five years. The leased property will be used to construct a solar facility and electric vehicle charging stations at a fair market value. All proceeds from this lease must be used to acquire new parklands or fund capital improvements to existing park and recreational facilities. If the land ceases to be used for the agreed solar and charging purposes, the lease will terminate, and the land will revert to the town for public park and recreational use, requiring the removal of all facilities. The act also ensures that if the town received federal funding for the parkland, the lease cannot proceed until all federal requirements regarding the substitution of equivalent lands are met. Finally, the act takes effect immediately.
