An act authorizing and validating the alienation of certain parkland in the village of Wappingers Falls in the county of Dutchess
Purpose or general idea of bill
To validate and authorize the alienation and substitution of certain parkland in the village of Wappingers Falls in the county of Dutchess.
Summary of specific provisions

Justification
The enactment of this legislation will authorize and validate the village of Wappingers Falls' alienation of a portion of James J. Temple Memorial Park and will add two parcels of parkland as replacement parkland of greater acreage and recreational value. One of the parcels proposed for new parkland contains a highway garage which can be repurposed for more suitable parkland with access to the Hudson River Estuary in accordance with the village's comprehensive plan, which calls for the garage's repurposing with this stated goal. The village has also received a donation of private land to form a proposed addition to the Greenway Trail through Wappingers Falls.
