AI Summary

This bill authorizes the city of New Bedford to enter into a long-term lease, up to 99 years, for the operation of a performing arts center located at 680 and 684 Purchase Street. It allows the city to negotiate the lease directly with the legal Massachusetts entity responsible for the operation of the Zeiterion Theatre Performing Arts Center, without the need to commission an appraisal or solicit proposals. This provides the city with the flexibility to enter into a long-term agreement to maintain and operate the performing arts center for the benefit of the community.
