AI Summary

This bill allows the town of Rockland to transfer a 7.49-acre parcel of park land currently held by the board of park commissioners to the school committee for the purpose of siting a new Memorial School building. In exchange, the town will transfer two parcels of land totaling 11.34 acres, currently held by the school committee, to the board of park commissioners to be used for public park and open space purposes. The town must provide ball fields and other outdoor recreational resources on these new park parcels within two years of the completion of the Memorial School.
