Bill Summary

For legislation to accept certain property in Gloucester for park and conservation purposes under Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill accepts certain property in Gloucester for park and conservation purposes under Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution. In 1990, the Gloucester City Council established certain city-owned lands to be preserved for open space and recreational purposes. In 2019, the City Council voted to request the Massachusetts legislature to officially preserve these lands for the same purposes. This bill then accepts the lands to be held permanently for park and conservation uses under Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution, and allows the city to record this information in the Southern Essex Registry of Deeds.
