AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) to convey a 4,750 square foot parcel of land in Somerville, currently under the care and control of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), to the Somerville Housing Authority. The land is part of the Alewife Brook Parkway, which is designated for "pleasure vehicles only." The Somerville Housing Authority can ground lease the land for the redevelopment of the Clarendon Hill Apartments without additional process. The Commonwealth must be compensated either through a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the land or through the provision of a fee interest or permanent restriction on land of equal or greater value to the DCR. The grantee is responsible for all costs associated with the conveyance, and the project must ensure no net loss of conservation and recreation lands.
