AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Amherst to establish a Public Art Fund. The fund will be credited with 0.5% of the total estimated eligible funds for construction or capital improvement projects with a budget of at least $100,000. The fund can be used to finance various public art-related expenses, such as artist design services, artwork acquisition and installation, maintenance, and education. Unused funds from specific projects may be used to support other public art needs as determined by the town's public art commission. The bill requires any unspent funds to revert to the original funding source or the general public art needs after 3 or 5 years, depending on the approval of the select board.
