New Jersey 2022-2023 Regular Session

New Jersey Assembly Bill A2904

Introduced
2/28/22  

Caption

Requires sale of remaining unused State-owned portion of Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital to Morris County.

Impact

The bill amends previous legislation (P.L.2001, c.345) and serves to streamline the property transfer process by eliminating the need for various state approvals that were previously required. This means that the foreclosure and conveyance will happen without requiring additional legislative endorsement, which could expedite the transition of this state property into local control. The intended utilization of the land is framed to ensure community benefit while relieving the state of underutilized assets.

Summary

Assembly Bill A2904 mandates the sale of a remaining unused portion of the Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital property, owned by the State of New Jersey, to Morris County for the nominal fee of one dollar. This sale is deemed necessary as the designated portion is considered surplus to the needs of the hospital and State, making it appropriate for various community-focused uses such as public recreation, conservation, and historic preservation.

Contention

Key points of contention around this bill may arise concerning the environmental condition of the property, as the state must conduct a thorough review for any hazardous materials that might require remediation before the transfer. Furthermore, the property will be conveyed in 'as is' condition, placing the responsibility for upkeep and management on Morris County, which may raise concerns about potential liabilities or additional costs to the local government regarding maintenance and environmental issues.
