Bill > SB01566

This bill authorizes the Commissioner of Administrative Services to convey a 1.554-acre parcel of state land located at the Cheshire Correctional Institution to the Town of Cheshire for the nominal price of one dollar plus administrative costs. The land will be used specifically to provide additional space for the town's adjacent school bus depot, as identified in a detailed property survey dated November 20, 2023. The conveyance is subject to approval by the State Properties Review Board, which must complete its review within 30 days of receiving the proposed agreement. The bill includes important restrictions: if the town does not use the land for the intended purpose, does not retain full ownership, or leases any portion of the parcel, the land will automatically revert to state ownership. The State Treasurer is authorized to execute the necessary deed, which must include provisions ensuring the land's intended use, and the Commissioner of Administrative Services will manage all other aspects of the property transfer. The legislation is effective immediately upon passage and is designed to facilitate the town's expansion of its school bus depot facilities.
