Relates to conveying approximately 1.2 acres of land located within the forest preserve to the town of Montague, Lewis county, in order to allow the expansion of the town's barn for public use, in exchange for 26 acres of land to be conveyed by such town to the state.

This bill proposes to transfer about 1.2 acres of land from the forest preserve to the town of Montague, New York, so the town can expand its barn for public use. In return, the town will give the state 26 acres of land. This exchange aims to benefit local community facilities while balancing state land management.

Supporters of the bill argue that expanding the barn will enhance community services and public events in Montague, fostering local engagement and tourism. They believe the land exchange is a fair trade that benefits both the town and the state, allowing for better use of public land.

Critics may argue that transferring land from the forest preserve sets a concerning precedent for future land exchanges, potentially jeopardizing protected areas. They might express concern that the expansion of the barn could lead to more development in sensitive ecological zones, undermining conservation efforts.
