AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Westport to convey a non-exclusive access easement in a portion of the Westport Town Landing property at 493 Old County Road to the owners of the abutting property at 497 Old County Road. The easement would allow the owners of 497 Old County Road to access their land from the public way, while still preserving the public's right to use the Town Landing.
