An Act providing for the exchange of certain park land in the town of Lexington
This bill allows the town of Lexington to exchange approximately 8 acres of park land (described in two deeds) from the select board to the school committee for school purposes, following a special town meeting vote on November 3, 2025. In return, the town must transfer the land containing the current Lexington High School buildings (shown in "Figure G" dated October 3, 2025) from the school committee to the select board for a new athletic field, park, and recreational space. The exchange ensures no net loss of land subject to constitutional protections (Article 97). The bill requires specific procedural steps under Massachusetts law and takes effect upon passage.
