HB 5573 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONVEYING A PARCEL OF STATE LAND TO THE CITY OF TORRINGTON.

This bill authorizes the state to transfer a 0.22-acre parcel of land in Torrington to the city for use in relocating a trail. The state will cover only the administrative costs of the transfer, and the land comes with an existing easement reserved for the state Department of Transportation. The city must use the land for the trail relocation project, and if it fails to do so, retains ownership, or leases the land, the property must be returned to the state. The State Properties Review Board must approve the transfer within 30 days of receiving a proposed agreement.
