Bill Summary
Relative to releasing certain land in the town of Northfield from the operation of an agricultural covenant. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill allows the commissioner to execute an amendment to an agricultural covenant held by the Commonwealth on land owned by Hopping Ahead LLC. The amendment will permit the construction and placement of solar panels and associated infrastructure on the land, consistent with the Commonwealth's regulations on Agricultural Solar Tariff Generation Units, without additional requirements on the use of the generated electricity. As a condition of the release, the current owner must pay 50% of the funds originally received, prorated based on the remaining term of the covenant, to be used by the Department of Agricultural Resources to acquire new agricultural covenants. Except as amended, the original agricultural covenant will remain in full force and effect.
