Section one of the bill authorizes the land parcel alienation and
conveyance of property interests in such lands for the purpose of
construction of a wastewater treatment plant.

Section two of the bill provides that this authorization shall be done

ated.

project in Mastic Beach. The revitalization goals include upgrades and
improvements to retail, commercial, civic and other community use spac-
es, as well as the addition of diverse types of housing including new,
mixed-use and affordable housing options. The wastewater treatment plant
is a key part of this project and will be made possible as a result of
this land alienation.
