Bill > S2406

This bill authorizes the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), a state agency responsible for managing state-owned properties, to transfer three specific parcels of land in Shrewsbury to the town. These parcels, formerly part of the Grafton State Hospital and currently under the control of the Department of Agricultural Resources, are to be used solely for conservation, passive recreational activities (like walking or nature observation, as opposed to active sports), or agricultural purposes. The bill specifies that the town will receive these parcels for a nominal consideration of $1, with the deed containing a restriction that ensures these designated uses. If the town deviates from these permitted uses, ownership of the land will revert back to the Commonwealth. The town of Shrewsbury will be responsible for all associated costs, including surveys and deed preparation, and the DCAMM commissioner will determine the value of the property for reporting purposes.
