Bill Summary

Authorizing the release of an agricultural preservation restriction of certain land in Plymouth

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the release of a 1.22-acre portion of an agricultural preservation restriction on land in Plymouth, Massachusetts. As a condition, the landowner, the Whip's Farm Trust, must grant an amended agricultural preservation restriction on the remaining parcel, prohibiting the construction of dwellings and providing the Department of Agricultural Resources an option to purchase the land at fair market agricultural value. The landowner must also pay $12,200 to the Agricultural Preservation Mitigation Expendable Trust Fund, and assume all costs associated with the release of the restriction. The existing agricultural preservation restriction, except for the 1.22-acre portion, will remain in full force and effect.
