An Act authorizing the reorientation of the parcel of land occupied by Riverside Boat Club of Cambridge

This bill (HD 2918) authorizes the state to lease a reconfigured parcel of land to the Riverside Boat Club of Cambridge for its rowing program and boathouse. It directly affects the Riverside Boat Club by enabling continued operation on a specifically described reoriented parcel, including adjacent water access and road access rights. The key mechanism is overriding certain existing land-use laws (Chapter 3, Section 5A of the General Laws) to allow the lease, using a revised boundary plan filed with the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The bill does not create new policy but facilitates the club's current operations on modified land.
