                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7352

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to authorize the village of Hudson Falls, in
the county of Washington, to discontinue use of certain parkland

 PURPOSE :

Authorizes the village of Hudson Falls, in the county of Washington,
to discontinue use of certain lands as parklands.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 authorizes the village of Hudson Falls to discontinue the
use of land dedicated as parkland for municipal parking.

Section 2 gives a description of the parcel of land.

Section 3 requires the village of Hudson Falls to dedicate an amount
equal to or greater than the fair market value of the parcel for
capital improvements of existing park and recreational facilities, or
for the acquisition of such.

Section 4 establishes an effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

This bill would authorize the village of Hudson Falls to use a parcel
of land labeled as parkland to construct municipal parking. The
village has seen an expansion of development near this parcel of land,
and this development has resulted in a substantial need for additional
public parking. This land, originally dedicated as a playground, has
not been used for that purpose or general park purposes for decades.
The land has served no useful purpose for years, but represents an
important catalyst of the economic, cultural and aesthetic development
of the community. The village is making improvements to Wall Street
Pond Park, including the development of several miles of a walking and
bike trail through village lands and connecting with the Feeder Canal
Trail. In addition, the pond would be dredged and improved to
accommodate skating in the winter and fishing in the summer, with a
picnic area as well. The village has also constructed a cement
platform where musical performances are held in the summer in an
amphitheater-type setting.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
