BILL NUMBER: S6054               Revised 4/16/2021

SPONSOR: LANZA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend chapter 759 of the laws of 1973 relating to the transfer
of lands to the United States for the establishment of the Gateway
National Recreation Area, in relation to the time period in which lands
may be conveyed

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation extends the time period during which lands may be
transferred to U.S. for establishment of the Gateway National Recre-
ational. Area.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Section 5 of chapter 759 of the laws of 1973 relating to the
transfer of lands to the United States for the establishment of the
Gateway National Recreational Area, as amended by chapter 85 of the laws

of 2008, is amended to read as follows: Section 5. All such lands shall
be ceded, granted and conveyed to the United States on or before June
30, 2021

Section 2: Provides the effective date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The Gateway National Recreational Area plan is an innovative approach to
the creation of urban park space. Gateway will combine recreational
facilities with educational programs and an organized effort to attract
the population of the entire region which this Federal project will
serve.

The process of assembling the scattered properties (situated in three of
the City's counties and in New Jersey) which will ultimately comprise
Gateway is not yet completed, in part because the plan to create the
park has taken into account the need for input from the communities it
will adjoin as well as those it will serve. As amended, this legislation
would mandate timely applicable community board and borough board
notification and review of any future property to be ceded or conveyed
as part of Gateway.

In order to permit the Gateway project to take shape at a rate which
permits the participation of the parties interested in the area' s ulti-
mate success, this bill extends by two years the deadline for transfer
of those properties still held by the State and City of New York which
are included in the Gateway plan.
