What S 5525 does, verified July 2, 2025
The village of Croton-on-Hudson, Westchester County, is allowed to lease sports field fences at specific parks for a nominal rent to a not-for-profit organization. The purpose of these leases is to permit the sale of advertising on the fences, with the revenue used solely for the maintenance of the parks in the village. This arrangement is made possible by a change in the general municipal law, which allows for these leases to take place despite any existing local laws or charters that may prohibit them. The changes take effect immediately.
