The sponsor's argument

Why Andrea Stewart-Cousins says this is needed

The portion of Stonegate Park that the Town of Mount Pleasant seeks to alienate contains a little used, aging structure. This portion of the Park is separated from the baseball field and other amenities located at the north end of the Park by a large, wooded area, making any effort to combine the two areas impracticable. Over the years, this section of Stonegate Park has experienced significant damage to its pavilion area. In exchange for alienating this section of Stonegate Park, the Town will designate an equal-sized area of land next to the Town pool as new park- land.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
