With the former president’s impeachment trial underway, the New York State Assembly voted 14 to 7 to advance a bill that would rebrand the 435-acre park and remove signage advertising it along the Taconic State Parkway.
“Our parklands should be reflective of New Yorkers that we can be proud of, New Yorkers that have expressed our values,” Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, who sponsored the bill, said to Politico. “There are a lot of other New Yorkers who are worthy of the honor of having a park named after themselves.”
The state obtained the park in 2006 when Trump donated it after failing to build a golf course on the property due to the conditions of the land. When Trump donated the property, he reportedly did so with the mandate that his name be “prominently displayed at least at each entrance to each property.”
