H 44 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to improve emergency service access in Cummington

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to work with the town of Cummington to build and maintain a new vehicle trail through state forest land. The trail, which would connect Hendricks Road to the beach, is intended to provide better access for the Cummington Fire Department's emergency vehicles. The department would grant the town a renewable five-year license to use the land for this purpose, ensuring the arrangement does not permanently transfer ownership.
