H 4660 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to a certain parcel of land in the town of Norton

This bill allows the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to transfer specific parcels of land in Norton - originally taken for highway purposes in 1973 - to the town for redevelopment. The town must pay the full market value (determined by MassDOT), and any proceeds from selling or leasing the land must be returned to the Commonwealth. The land is precisely identified by property IDs and survey details from the original 1973 highway acquisition. The transfer occurs via standard real estate procedures, with the town responsible for all associated costs.
