The sponsor's argument

Why Andrea Stewart-Cousins says this is needed

The Town of Greenburgh intends to install solar canopies and, potential- ly, electric vehicle charging stations in the parking lot of Anthony F. Veteran Park. This project will allow the Town to generate renewable energy in an area that currently only serves as parking space, and the project is aligned with the Town and New York State's goals for energy conservation and sustainability. Once the project is complete, the installations will provide the Town, its residents, and its visitors with additional services with no net reduction in the number of parking spaces offered in Anthony F. Veteran Park. To install the solar canopies and charging stations, the Town will lease the land containing the parking lot to HESP Solar LLC for no more than twenty-five years. In order for the Town to lease this parkland, the Legislature must first pass legislation permitting the alienation of this parkland. If the Town decides to remove the solar canopies and charging stations from the specified parking lot before the end of its lease with HESP Solar LLC, then the lease will terminate and the parking lot must be returned to its original state.

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.
