AI Summary

This bill allows for the release of approximately 1.9 acres of land in Rowley, Massachusetts from an existing agricultural covenant (AC) held by the Department of Agricultural Resources. In exchange, the bill requires that the Herrick Farm Trust (HFT) place a 1.2504-acre parcel, which contains the farm's only source of drinking water, under the same restrictive AC for up to 2 years. The Commonwealth will retain a limited 2-year easement and right-of-way on the released 1.9 acres. Except for these changes, the existing AC will remain in full force and effect.
