Connecticut transfers Torrington station land to regional waste authority

The Commissioner of Administrative Services must convey the property and its improvements to the Northwest Resource Recovery Authority. The property is about four acres in Torrington and includes the Torrington Transfer Station. The authority must pay the administrative costs of the transfer. The State Properties Review Board must approve the transfer. The section took effect upon passage. The property stays under the Department of Administrative Services' care and control until the transfer is completed.

The authority must use the property to operate a public station for municipal waste and recycling. This requirement covers the land and improvements conveyed to the authority. The property returns to the state if the authority stops using it for that purpose, no longer owns all of it, or leases any part of it. The use requirement applies after the transfer; the return rule applies if any of the listed events occurs.
