An Act authorizing the Department of Highways to acquire a certain dam in the town of Norwood

HD 3815 authorizes the Massachusetts Department of Highways to immediately acquire the Willet Pond Dam and related structures on Brook Street in Norwood using eminent domain, without requiring appraisals or permits. The bill directs the Department to fund and complete emergency repairs to the dam and road for public safety, directly affecting the Norwood town area and the dam's current owners. Key provisions eliminate standard legal requirements (like appraisals and permits) to expedite the emergency work. The repaired bridge will be named the "Honorable Gregory W. Sullivan Dam" in recognition of his service.
