Bill > SB01566

This bill authorizes the conveyance of a 1.554-acre parcel of state land currently part of the Cheshire Correctional Institution to the Town of Cheshire for the purpose of expanding the adjacent school bus depot. The land will be sold for the symbolic price of one dollar, plus administrative costs, and the transfer is subject to approval by the State Properties Review Board. The bill includes important restrictions: if the town fails to use the land for the school bus depot, sells the parcel, or leases any portion of it, the land will automatically revert back to state ownership. The State Properties Review Board must complete its review within 30 days of receiving the proposed agreement, and the State Treasurer will execute the necessary deed. This transfer requires the town to use the land specifically for expanding the school bus depot's space, ensuring that the public purpose of the land transfer is strictly maintained.
