H 4882 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act authorizing the town of Orange to convey a certain parcel of land

This bill authorizes the Town of Orange to transfer five small parcels of land, totaling about 0.38 acres, from its Water Department to the town's Board of Selectmen for sale to the current owners. The legislation allows the town to sell these surplus water supply lands at fair market value while requiring the purchase of a different 16,370-square-foot parcel on Lake Mattawa to replace the lost area. Any money earned from the sale will be split evenly, with half going to the town's general treasury and half funding the Water Department's enterprise fund for future water supply needs.
