An Act authorizing the city of New Bedford to grant a utility easement to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

This bill authorizes the City of New Bedford to grant a utility easement to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. The permission allows the university to install and maintain underground utilities under a specific section of city-owned land at Fort Taber Park. In exchange, the university is required to restore the park's surface, including any altered paths or infrastructure, and ensure the land remains available for public park use. The specific area affected is identified by a dated engineering plan, and the law becomes effective immediately upon passing.
