An Act authorizing the town of Sharon to change the use of a certain parcel of land acquired for outdoor recreational purposes to a use for general municipal purposes

This bill authorizes the town of Sharon to convert a specific 0.86-acre parcel of land, originally designated for outdoor recreation, into general municipal use for a building and parking. In exchange for this change, the town must dedicate a separate 5.95-acre parcel to public outdoor recreational use and ensure that existing trees on the converted land are protected during construction. The legislation allows the town's select board to proceed with these land use changes while maintaining a balance between new municipal facilities and public green space.
