AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of Nantucket to transfer specific parcels of land for conservation and open space purposes. Under Section 1, the Nantucket Conservation Commission is permitted to convey a parcel of land located at 35 Grove Lane to the town's Select Board for further conveyance. Section 2 allows the town to transfer multiple parcels of land, including portions of a former railroad bed on Low Beach Road, an unnamed way in Siasconset, Hawthorne Avenue, and the 35 Grove Lane property, to two specific entities: the Nantucket Islands Land Bank (which likely manages conservation land) and the Sconset Trust, Inc. These transfers are for purposes of open space, conservation, and passive recreation. The bill notes that these land transfers are being made pursuant to Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution, which protects public lands used for conservation purposes, and that the Select Board can determine the specific terms and conditions of the transfers, including any reservations of restrictions or easements. The act will take effect immediately upon its passage.
