The deputy commissioner of said division shall file with the clerk of the house of representatives who shall forward to the joint committee on state administration, and with the inspector general of the commonwealth a copy of the lease authorized by this act at least twenty business days prior to the execution thereof by said division. The inspector general shall review and file comments and any recommendations thereto to the joint committee on state administration within fifteen business days of the receipt of such lease by the inspector general and said inspector general shall deliver a copy of such comments and recommendations to the division. Said lease, when executed by the deputy commissioner, shall be deemed conclusively authorized hereby; provided, however, that all provisions therein are consistent with the provisions of this act. The deputy commissioner from time to time is hereby authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the commonwealth, a notice of such lease for recording and any and all other agreements and instruments related to the lease authorized hereby which the division may determine appropriate from time to time.

Thence running easterly along said town line to the point of beginning, containing fifty-two acres more or less and the buildings thereon.
