BILL NUMBER:S5507
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 445 of the laws of 2008, authorizing the commissioner of transportation to transfer certain lands in the county of Broome, in relation to extending the time period for such transfer
Summary of provisions
Section 1 Extends the timeframe within which the commissioner may transfer lands in the county of Broome by 3 years.
Section 2 makes the Act take effect immediately.
Justification
In 2008, the Legislature allowed for land located near State Route 7 in the City of Binghamton to be transferred to the Broome County Industrial Development Agency (IDA).
The Broome County Industrial Development Agency was interested in remediating the site through the Brownfield Redevelopment Program to make the land appealing for purposes of economic development.
As the Broome County IDA is well suited to maximize the land's potential public purpose benefit as either a public landlord or a seller to a private developer, they were interested in remediating the site through the Brownfield Redevelopment Program for purposes of economic development.
The original bill allowed for the Commissioner of Transportation to convey the land to the Broome County IDA for two years after the effective date.
Unfortunately, the Broome County IDA was unable to close the original transaction within this allotted timeframe.
This new bill would allow the NYSDOT to convey the property for an additional 3 years so that the transaction may be closed and the redevelopment pursued.
