Cortlandville lease money must support parks
The lease authorization requires Cortlandville to use all lease money to buy parkland or make capital improvements to existing recreation facilities. If sign use stops, the lease can end and the land can return to public park and recreation use. The sign must then be removed, and the property restored to its prior state for those uses. If the parkland received federal funding or assistance, the town must meet federal requirements before removing park status and leasing it. These include showing the Interior Secretary that replacement land has equal fair-market value and usefulness.
Cortlandville allows sign leasing on parkland
Effective immediately, the law lets Cortlandville remove park status from a 0.03-acre parcel along New York State Route 13. The town can lease it to Park Outdoor Advertising of New York, Inc. to build, maintain, and operate an electronic sign. The lease must charge fair-market-value rent and last no more than 10 years. The town's governing body sets the lease terms. The law also makes the earlier land transaction legally valid despite the lack of prior state approval.
