The sponsor's argument

Why Michelle Hinchey says this is needed

The Town of Hurley has requested the alienation of a portion of parkland so that they are able to construct a new highway garage for the town. Their previous garage had numerous issues, most notably the fact that it was located adjacent to a state superfund site, which resulted in the town closing the garage. In the interim, the town is leasing a garage for their highway operations at a cost of approximately $84,000 per year, but they would like to construct a new one to save residents money in the long term. The town has identified the best location to construct this new garage, but since it is located on parkland, the town requires state authorization to alienate it and begin construction. This bill authorizes the town to alienate a section of parkland on the condition that it designates a new parcel of approximately equal size as parkland.

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.
