AI Summary

This bill aims to address the potential impact of major construction projects on neighboring communities. It requires that any construction project over $5 million, including public or private construction, road/highway projects, and bridge construction over navigable or tidal waters, occurring within 1,500 feet of another municipality's border, must include a buffer zone between the two municipalities. This buffer zone can consist of parks, gardens, trails, wetlands, or other protected open space, and is intended to prevent harm to the neighboring municipality from the construction activities.
