OLR Bill Analysis
SB 1110
AN ACT AMENDING THE CONVEYANCE OF PARCELS OF STATE
LAND TO THE NEW HAVEN PORT AUTHORITY.
SUMMARY
This bill amends section 6 of PA 18-154, which required the
Department of Transportation to convey two parcels of land in New
Haven, totaling 0.69 acres, to the New Haven Port Authority for their
fair market value plus administrative costs. The bill reduces the
conveyance’s cost by subtracting the costs for investigating and
remediating identified environmental contamination on the parcels.
It also requires the authority to use the two parcels for economic
development purposes. (PA 18-154 did not specify a purpose.) Under
the bill, the parcels revert to the state if the authority (1) does not use
either of them for this purpose; (2) sells the parcels; or (3) leases all or
any portion of them, except for a lease for economic development
purposes.
The bill also makes technical and conforming changes.
