AN ACT authorizing the county of Nassau to transfer ownership of certain
parklands to Conservation Partners, LLC
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

this act, upon terms to be fixed and determined by such county legisla-
ture, to Conservation Partners LLC, which terms and conditions shall

for open space protection purposes and does not have any developed
recreational facilities; after conveyance, the open space features of
the property will be permanently protected through a conservation ease-
ment; and the conveyance is part of a larger conservation land trans-
action that will result in a net increase of more than thirty acres of
permanently protected open space in a densely developed area of Nassau
County.
S 2. The parkland referred to in section one of this act is located,
bounded and described as follows:
ALL that certain plot, piece or parcel of land with the buildings and
