Legislature clears sales of county tax-foreclosure properties after SEQR determinations
Summary
Resolutions authorizing SEQR classification and sale of county tax-foreclosure properties in Gates, Henrietta and Penfield were approved unanimously (29–0), clearing the way for conveyance and sale processes.
The Legislature adopted a series of resolutions addressing classification under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and the subsequent sale of county-owned tax-foreclosure properties.
Items introduced by Hughes-Smith and Bonnick included SEQRA classifications and determinations of significance for property at 763 Howard Road (Town of Gates) and Cedarhurst Drive (Town of Henrietta), and a related sale-authorizing resolution for each property. The resolutions carried committee support and were approved by recorded votes of 29–0, according to the session minutes.
Another pair of resolutions addressed classification and sale of a County-owned tax-foreclosure property located at 3417 Atlantic Avenue in the Town of Penfield; those items also passed unanimously. The agenda records committee votes prior to the full session (Environment and Public Works Committee: April 21, 2025 – recorded as 7–0 on the associated SEQRA items; Ways and Means Committee also recorded support where applicable).
The minutes record adoption of the SEQRA determinations and the authorizations to sell; precise sale terms, appraisal values, purchaser identities, and closing timetables were not provided in the legislative minutes and will appear in the county’s real-estate and closing records if and when a sale is executed.
