Explanation
The bill requires the Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection (DEEP) to consult with the Governor, the Departments of
Economic and Community Development, Administrative Services, the
Office of Policy and Management, and the Town of Waterford to
develop and issue a request for information (ROI) for low-impact,
residential uses for the former Seaside Sanatorium facility by
September 1, 2021.
DEEP currently does not have staff with expertise on low-impact
residential development and would need to contract with consultants
to assist in the development, implementation, and oversight of the
ROI. It is estimated that the bill would result in costs of approximately
$100,000 in FY 22 to contract with outside consultants for this purpose.
The Out Years
There is no annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above
occurs only in FY 22.
