An Act authorizing the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to convey certain parcels of land to the town of Bolton

This bill authorizes the state Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to transfer two specific land parcels, originally part of the Lancaster Industrial School for Girls, to the town of Bolton. The land includes a section of the former school campus and a dam located near the town line, which the town may acquire through a purchase agreement, lease, or other arrangement. If the town fails to complete the acquisition by the end of 2024, the state retains the right to sell or lease the land to other parties through a competitive bidding process. The transfer includes conditions requiring the land to be used for general municipal purposes, with a clause allowing the state to reclaim the property if it is no longer used for those purposes. Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for determining fair market value, handling potential liabilities related to the land's condition, and managing any future easements or access rights.
