Bill > H4314

This bill authorizes the town of Hingham to repurpose approximately 5.387 acres of land currently used for passive and active recreation at Bare Cove Park Drive to create a Center for Active Living. The specific parcel is identified on Assessor's Map 77, Lot 1, and the proposed change is detailed in a site plan dated March 14, 2025. To compensate for this land use change, the town will transfer approximately 6.847 acres of land from the school committee to the conservation commission, which will be held for conservation purposes under Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution. This transfer ensures that the town maintains its commitment to preserving open space while allowing for the development of a new community facility. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, enabling the town to proceed with its plans for the Center for Active Living.
