SB 518 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT AMENDING A CONVEYANCE OF A PARCEL OF STATE LAND IN THE CITY OF MIDDLETOWN.

This bill amends a 1995 agreement regarding a 10-acre state-owned parcel in Middletown that was previously sold to the Shiloh Baptist Community Development Corporation. The legislation clarifies that the land must be used for moderate-income housing and public recreational facilities by June 30, 2029, while explicitly prohibiting its use for religious teaching or practice. If the corporation fails to begin construction by the deadline or does not comply with federal nondiscrimination requirements, the property will revert to state ownership. The bill also ensures that any existing mortgage debt remains enforceable even if the land reverts to the state.
