1-CHAPTER 65 An Act authorizing the State Treasurer to sell certain surplus real property and improvements owned by the State in the City of Jersey City, County of Hudson. Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey: 1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a.

The PANYNJ has controlled this property since 1931 via legislation enacted concerning Bridge and Tunnel Unifications, P.L.1931, c.4; c. Legislative Committee notes indicate vesting of jurisdiction over the property with the PANYNJ in 1931, and a property map shows the area under PANYNJ jurisdiction as early as 1965; however, there is no evidence that a deed was ever recorded conferring title to the PANYNJ; d. The PANYNJ has exercised control over the Holland Tunnel Service Garage since its construction, and has assumed the payment of the original debt that was incurred at the time the facility was constructed in 1931; e.

The PANYNJ has been and will continue to be responsible for the monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and maintenance obligations for this property and any remediation action required because of the continued use and operation of the property; and g. Consistent with the historical and ongoing responsibilities assumed by the PANYNJ with respect to the property, it is fitting and proper to legally transfer ownership of the property to the PANYNJ. 2. a. The Department of the Treasury is authorized to sell and convey, as surplus real property, all of the State's right, title, and interest in and to the land and improvements thereon, known as the Holland Tunnel Service Garage, designated as Block 7203, Lot 2, in the City of Jersey City, County of Hudson, which has been declared surplus to the needs of the State.
