Bill > S657

This bill requires the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to conduct a comprehensive study of Stony Brook Reservation, which is a historic landmark located in Boston and Dedham, Massachusetts. The study will focus on developing recommendations for restoring and maintaining the reservation, with specific attention to improving recreational facilities and the maintenance and rehabilitation of the current state-owned land. The DCR will be tasked with identifying potential long-term expansion and rehabilitation strategies to maximize public use of the area. The department must complete and file a detailed report with the joint committee on environment, natural resources and agriculture, as well as the house and senate committees on ways and means, within 90 days of the bill's passage. The legislation overrides any existing general or special laws that might otherwise prevent such a study, emphasizing the importance of preserving and enhancing this public recreational space.
