Bill > S2141

This bill allows the Massachusetts commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance to modify use restrictions on specific parcels of land located on Payson Road in Foxborough that were previously designated for municipal recreational and public safety purposes. The parcels, identified as H-1 and H-2 on a 1998 subdivision plan and recorded in the Norfolk registry of deeds, can now be released or amended to permit housing development, including market-rate and senior housing. The town of Foxborough will be authorized to convey these parcels to a third party for housing purposes, and the town will be responsible for all transaction-related expenses, such as engineering costs, surveys, appraisals, title examinations, and recording fees. This change overrides previous legal restrictions that limited the use of these land parcels, providing the town with greater flexibility for potential housing development on the former Foxborough State Hospital site.
