Bill > S2576

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance to convey two parcels of land located off Maple Avenue in Upton that were originally acquired for conservation and recreation purposes to the Upton Development Group, Ltd. In exchange, the Upton Development Group must convey two other parcels (identified as 1B and 3B on a specific land survey plan) to the state's division of capital asset management and maintenance, which will then be placed under the care of the department of conservation and recreation for conservation purposes. If either of these parcels are found to be unsuitable due to environmental contamination, the Upton Development Group must provide alternative land of equal or greater acreage and natural resource value. The bill is designated as an emergency law, which means it is intended to take effect immediately to facilitate the land transfer. The legislation amends Chapter 156 of the acts of 2005 by replacing its original sections 1 and 2 with these new provisions that outline the specific terms of the land exchange.
