AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to acquire certain parcels of land in the town of Southborough from the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). The bill outlines the process for MassDOT to acquire the land, including requiring an independent appraisal of the fair market value or value in proposed use, whichever is greater, and requiring MassDOT to compensate the Commonwealth for the interest in the land through the transfer of land, interest in land, or funding for the acquisition of land or interest equal to or greater than the appraised value. The bill also requires the transferred land to be permanently held and managed by DCR for watershed protection, conservation, and recreation purposes, and any monetary payments from the conveyances to be deposited in the Conservation Trust.
