Key Provisions

  • Identifies approximately 5 acres of parklands in Kings Point that would be authorized for alienation
  • Requires the village to follow a specific process to map, survey, and appraise the affected parklands

  • Stipulates that the alienation cannot occur until the village has completed the required mapping, survey, and appraisal work

  • Environmental groups and advocates for open space preservation may oppose the bill, concerned about the reduction of protected green areas
  • Real estate developers or other private interests could potentially acquire the alienated parklands for commercial or residential projects

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • This bill was introduced in the New York State Assembly on May 22, 2025 and is currently in the print stage (A 8621A)
  • It has a companion bill, S 7868, which has been introduced in the State Senate
  • If passed, the bill would take effect immediately, allowing the village of Kings Point to begin the process of alienating the designated parklands
