AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to grant permanent easements to the town of Hubbardston for the reconstruction of the Evergreen Road bridge over Mason Brook. The easements cover specific parcels of land acquired for water supply purposes. In exchange, the town of Hubbardston must compensate the Commonwealth through the transfer of land or an interest in land, or through a payment equal to or greater than the appraised value of the easements, as determined by an independent appraisal and approved by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The town must assume all costs associated with the project, and the easements can only be used for the purposes of the bridge reconstruction. The bill also includes a reversionary clause, allowing the property to revert to the Commonwealth if the land is not used for the intended purposes.
