H 3295 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to a license for the use of certain state land by the town of Southwick

HD 3490 authorizes a 5-year renewable license for the town of Southwick to use a state-owned boat ramp at North Pond (Point Grove Road) for parking. The agreement, between the state's Department of Capital Asset Management and the town, explicitly states it is not a land transfer and avoids requirements under Massachusetts' constitutional Article 97 or related land laws. This directly affects Southwick by providing a clear legal framework for parking access at the boat ramp without altering state land ownership. The bill creates a temporary, non-transferable use arrangement with no permanent rights or additional approval hurdles.
