An Act relative to amending certain use restrictions for the Foxborough State Hospital

This bill allows the state's capital asset management commissioner to remove or change land use restrictions on specific parcels in Foxborough that are currently reserved for recreational and public safety purposes. In exchange for this change, the town must agree to place a new restriction requiring the land to be used for housing, which can include market-rate or senior housing. The legislation also clarifies that the town of Foxborough is responsible for covering all associated costs, such as surveys and legal fees, for any transactions related to these land changes.
