AI Summary

This bill authorizes the commissioner of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to convey a certain parcel of land in Newton, Massachusetts to the city of Newton. The bill provides two options: either the land can be conveyed to the city for nominal consideration to provide affordable housing units, or it can be conveyed to the city for general municipal purposes at the fair market value as determined by an independent appraisal. The city would be responsible for all costs associated with the conveyance and would be required to use the land for the designated purposes. If the city does not complete the purchase by June 30, 2020 or a later agreed-upon date, the commissioner may sell or lease the property through a competitive bidding process.
