BILL NUMBER:S7214
Title of bill
An act in relation to the conveyance of land formerly used as an armory to the town of Huntington, county of Suffolk
Purpose or general idea of bill
To direct the Commissioner of General Services to transfer and convey approximately 3.6 acres of land formerly used as the Huntington Station Armory to the Town of Huntington to enhance its ongoing efforts to revitalize the Huntington Station area.
Summary of specific provisions

Section 2 gives the meets and bound of the armory property to be conveyed.
Section 3 requires the town of Huntington to file an application to the commissioner of General Services within one year of the effective date of this act.
Section 4 describes the purposes to which the town of Huntington will be using this property. The town will utilize the property for structures and improvements by several departments of the town including parks and recreation, engineering, general services, public safety, human and youth service in connection with recreational, community and civic programs.

Justification
Since 2009, when the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs decided as part of the Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure recommendations, to relocate the New York Army National Guard units housed at the Huntington Station Armory, the Town of Huntington has had a long-standing interest in the Armory property, which is located adjacent to a town recreational facility at Manor Field Park.
As part of its on going effort to revitalize the Huntington Station area, the town recently invested over $2 million to rehabilitate the Manor Field Park, adding synthetic turf field, new lighting and bleachers, and other improvements.
The Town will incorporate the Armory property into the existing park. The Armory building would house park support operations and the space is well suited to offer enhanced programming for the Huntington Station community with other Town departments which also serve this community's needs. Merging the Armory property into the park would help accelerate Huntington Station revitalization and restore a Town presence through community development.
