Bill > H4519

This bill authorizes the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), a state agency responsible for managing state-owned property, to sell a specific parcel of land in Stoneham, Massachusetts, that is currently under the care of the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The sale must be conducted through an open and competitive process, and the buyer will be responsible for all associated costs, including appraisals and deed preparation. A key provision requires the buyer to grant a permanent easement for public parking, providing 10 accessible parking spaces for use during the hours the Middlesex Fells Reservation is open, with the exact location to be approved by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The sale price will be the full market value of the land, determined by an independent appraisal reviewed by the Inspector General, and the proceeds will be split, with 95% going to the Conservation Trust and 5% to the town of Stoneham.
