This bill authorizes the Department of General Services, with the Governor's approval, to grant and convey approximately 7.92 acres of land and buildings located in Hickory Township, Mercer County, to the City of Hermitage for a fair market value of $920,000. The property, which includes the former Hermitage Pennsylvania National Guard Readiness Center, is described in detail within the bill, including its boundaries and previous ownership. The conveyance will be subject to existing easements and rights, and it includes specific conditions regarding the use of the property, prohibiting it from being utilized as a licensed facility or similar type of establishment.
Additionally, the bill outlines that the Secretary of General Services may impose further covenants, conditions, or restrictions deemed beneficial to the Commonwealth. It also allows for the granting or retention of easements as necessary. The conveyance will be executed via a special warranty deed, with all associated costs and fees to be covered by the grantee. If the conveyance is not completed within 24 months, the property may be sold through a competitive bidding process. Proceeds from the sale will be directed to the State Armory Fund. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
