An Act authorizing the Barnstable County and the town of Bourne to convey land and certain interests in land in the town of Bourne
This bill authorizes Barnstable County to transfer specific land in Bourne (at 0 County Road and 100 Dr. Julius Kelley Lane) to the town of Bourne, including a parcel subject to an existing conservation restriction. The town, which holds that conservation restriction (document #978,790), may also assign it to a qualified entity when acquiring the property from the county. The transfer is permitted under Massachusetts constitutional provisions for land conveyances, and the bill takes effect immediately upon passage. This is a procedural land transfer bill affecting only the specified property and its conservation status.
