Bill > H2355

This bill authorizes the town of Northfield to acquire a specific 3.018-acre parcel of land located at 546 Northfield Road (Route 10) in the town of Bernardston, which is currently described in a deed recorded in the Franklin County Registry of Deeds. The legislation provides Northfield with the legal authority to obtain this property through various means, including gift, purchase, or eminent domain, and specifies that the acquisition is for general municipal purposes, with a potential focus on establishing a public safety facility. By explicitly granting this authorization, the bill overrides existing general laws that might otherwise restrict the town's ability to acquire property outside its municipal boundaries. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing Northfield to proceed with the property acquisition as soon as the legislation is enacted.
