Bill Summary
Releasing certain land in Northfield from the operation of an agricultural covenant
AI Summary
This bill proposes to release certain land in Northfield, Massachusetts from an agricultural covenant held by the Commonwealth. The bill allows the current landowner, Hopping Ahead LLC, to construct and place solar panels and associated infrastructure on the land, as long as it is consistent with the Commonwealth's regulations for Agricultural Solar Tariff Generation Units. As a condition of the release, the landowner must pay the Department of Agricultural Resources a monetary amount not to exceed the funds the landowner originally received for the covenant. The funds received will be held in trust by the Department to acquire new agricultural covenants. Except for the changes made by this bill, the original agricultural covenant will remain in full force and effect.
