An Act authorizing the transfer of a parcel of land in the city of Taunton

This bill authorizes the transfer of a parking lot on Court Street in Taunton from the state to the city for a nominal fee of one dollar. Under the legislation, the city would assume full responsibility for costs such as appraisals, surveys, and ongoing maintenance, while the state retains the right to reclaim the land if it stops being used for parking. The state also agrees to hold the city harmless from any preexisting environmental violations associated with the property. Any funds received from the transfer would be deposited into the state's General Fund.
