Greenburgh may lease parkland for solar power and vehicle charging

The law authorizes Greenburgh to lease the described land to HESP Solar LLC for a solar facility and electric vehicle charging stations. The authorization covers about 3.91 acres in Greenburgh, as described in section 3, and names HESP Solar LLC as the lessee. The town sets the lease terms and must charge fair market value. If the town received federal funding, support, or help to buy, maintain, or improve the land, it must meet federal parkland conversion requirements before changing the land's use. The law takes effect immediately, and the lease may last up to 25 years.

The town must use all proceeds from the land transfer and lease to acquire parkland or improve existing parks and recreation facilities. This applies to all proceeds from the authorized parkland transfer and lease. The requirement applies to proceeds from the authorized transfer and lease.

The lease ends and the land returns to Greenburgh for park and recreation use if it stops being used for the authorized purposes. This applies to the land described in section 3. When the land returns, the solar facility and charging stations must be removed, and the property must be restored for park and recreation use. The lease ends when the land ceases to be used for the authorized purposes; equipment must be removed when the land returns.
